Idealy that is what i'm looking for: basically having it start up as root
and then switching the process over to another user (like apache does).
In our dev env this isn't a problem because they use non-priv ports, but
there's just something about seeing a billboard with an add like:
"come visit us at our new web site www.bigcompany.com:8092"
that just doesn't have quite the right ring to it. ;)
What's the theory behind using the JNI code? I'm not familiar with it.
