uid for the perlball
|
|

| Hi,
Is there a way to change the effective uid/gid of the perlbal from root to
non privileged user(if perlbal is listening on a privileged port?).
I saw a thread on this topic in the archives, but it doesn't indicate if
someone has already added this functionality.

Thanx,
HB

| Hi Hemant,
The best solution I know of at this time is to simply run perlbal on a
high port. We use a firewall rule in iptables to redirect port 80 to that
high port. In shorewall config format, it is:
# Allow incoming HTTP to perlbal running on 7080
REDIRECT net 7080 tcp 80
This way you can run perlbal as its own user.
Note: if you're not running as root, make sure you don't have ulimits set
for the perlbal user, especially "nofiles"
