tomcat on port 80 as user www:ww

[Roberto Nunnari]

Hello.

just a question:

What about running jakarta-tomcat4.1 as user www:www on port 80?
I don't need apache, so I run tomcat on port 80, but I can only
run it as root...

Any known security issues with running jakarta-tomcat4.1 as user root?

Best regards.
