[CentOS] Running network services as a non-root user

Hi,

 

I am using open source Alfresco( alfresco.com ), written in java, which has
own code for FTP, CIFS (running on tomcat apache and java). I need to run
tomcat5 as root in order to achieve that alfresco will bind ftp cifs on
privileged ports (21 , 135 .).

I am wondering, it is possible to allow user to bind on some privilleged
port. Like having whole alfresco running under user alfresco and not root
and able to bind on privileged ports?

CentOS 5.1

 

Thanks!

David
