Thanks Andre and John. I used jsvc to run tomcat before. Maybe that's what
got me around the root user restriction. Seems the simplest solution is to
just use NAT. There are instructions at the bottom of this post for anyone
else interested.

Hi,
In the past I have been able to run tomcat on port 80 under a "tomcat" user.
It seems like the latest versions of Fedora require that tomcat either be run as root or
requests to 8080 have to be redirected using iptables. Can anyone confirm this?
On each unix you will need root privileges to bind to a socket below 1024.
Tomcat is no different so it will need either root privileges, or a port over
1024 (default indeed 8080)
