What I have just found is that jsvc enables Tomcat to bind privileged port only on Linux (it's using capabilities). For example on Solaris one need to add net_privadd privilege for Tomcat user. This can be done by modifying /etc/user_attr. In such case I believe there is no need for jsvc. grep tomcat /etc/user_attr tomcat::::defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr -- Petr -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/relation-between-Tomcat-and-Apache-Commons-tp20145816p20268834.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
