The first issue you are going to run into is that Java does not support setting the uid/gid, and you would have to modify the jvm to support uid/gid per thread. Now apache/php works differently: apache launches a child process (php) each process can have different uid/gid. To do this you would have to do a RMI type thing, have a master service running as root, accepting connections, then launching subordinate processes as the desired uid/gid to execute the code (of course this is all happening in a different JVM) -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
