Hi all,

We've run into a problem with jsvc. In our environment we need to run tomcat
as root so that it can bind to several low numbered ports.

However, when using the "-user root" argument to jsvc, tomcat still can't bind
to the ports.

If we run tomcat directly (as root) with its "startup.sh", everything works fine.

In researching this, I found a reference where someone claimed there was a problem with the set_cap() capabilities support in jsvc. I've looked at the source, but I don't know enough about how that's supposed to work to know if it's correct or not. I was
hoping to find a patch somewhere, but no luck so far.

Has anyone on the list run into this? Is there a patch available? Or a work-around?

Many thanks,

Fred Toth
