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.

You don't really understand what you are talking about, but Frank Cusack
has provided the correct answer so far; check out the privileges(5) and
ppriv(1) manpages. You will probably also want to assign those
privileges to the user running the web server in permanence, for which
you will want to see the usermod manpage.
