RE: Tomcat on port 80 or Java as root

You have to define a chrooted environment.
The question is not to know if java is secure enough today but if a new
vulnerability could be discovered and exploited tomorrow. I think the answer
is yes.

Hi,

What are the implications of running tomcat as root(ie to run tomcat on 
port 80) Is java secure enough to run as root, or should I run some 
thing like apache in front ?

How about having Tux as a front end? Is it advisable from a security 
point of view?

with warm regards,

raj
