Bill, this solution is what all servlet container are doing ( except tomcat ). Look at any servlet container that runs on port 80 on unix, and you'll find a small JNI library that change the user id. For tomcat3.x - we don't need that too much because it's far better to start as non-root from the beginning, and use a real web server on 80. But assuming we would want to, I'm not sure 'deamon' would work without major modifications in tomcat ( to implement its model ), and I'm not sure how many other applications will fit the model, and I'm not sure I want to make the 'daemon' a requirement. I like the sourceforge's wrapper a lot, that's what I would use, and I know many other solutions in use for starting and keeping java programms alive that don't impose such requirements.
