Configuring Debian or Ubuntu To Run a Servlet Container as Non-Root

Tomcat 6

For recent releases of Debian and Ubuntu the tomcat6 package includes a dependency on the authbind package and a default authbind configuration that allows the Tomcat 6 container to bind to ports < 1024.

To leverage the authbind configuration the Tomcat 6 configuration file /etc/default/tomcat6 must be edited and the option AUTHBIND set to 'yes'.

See also the man page for authbind.
