You can't. Apache only binds to port 80 as root, then creates all child processes with the limited "nobody" (or "apache" or "www") user. A process must have root permissions to bind to port 80. Why are you concerned about this? If Apache gets exploited and a shell becomes available, the user only gains the environment of the limited user. If that's not good enough for you, chroot Apache. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
