You don't do it that way ;-).
By the time you start the Java virtual machine (JVM) that runs Tomcat,
that JVM must *already* be running as the user you want to use for
Tomc
HOw do we start TOmcat programatically using Bootstrap.start() API if we
need to pass the user ?

Sorry to pick you up on this one, Mike, but I think you're thinking of
Local*Service*, not Local*Syste
figuration, instead of
improving.

Tomat on Linux starts as root to bind to
port 80, and then switches effective user id to nobody. Windows does not
appear to have concept of changing effective user. Tomcat service runs
as a local system on Windows. Need to change the user for Tomcat
after binding to port 80.
How can this be achiev
