Re: Port 80 ownership change to non-ROOT

Anyone knows how to change the ownership on port 80 for IBM Websphere's
http processes at the Solaris 10 server ? Currently, port 80 is owned
by root. We want to make it owned by some other non-root user. Is this
do-able ? If yes, please let us know how. If not, what is the
work-around so I could have a cleaner URL which does not include a
random preset port number.

Try configuring the software that is presently servicing port 80 to listen
on an unprivileged port (> 1024), and use ipf to redirect port 80 traffic
to the unprivileged port.
