    BlankHi Gurus,

    I have a security concern of a process running on the servers [Solaris,
    HPUX, Windows 2000] etc. As I know you Gurus are the best in every
    technology I request each one of your valuable inputs to make me to take a
    firm decision.

    1. What is the concern and limitation if I run a JAVA process in a non-root
    mode related to security

    2. What is the concern when we run the same JAVA process in a root mode
    related to security

    Appreciate all of your feedback and I will summarize for sure.

    With Best Regards,

    Praveen
