Are there security issues that mandate that zope should be listening on a privileged port? On Sun, 2003-05-04 at 00:05, Ron Bickers wrote:

You do not want to start zope as root. The zope process has the same permissions as the user that starts the process.
Actually, you *must* start Zope as root if you want to listen on a privileged port. When you start as root, Zope will setuid to the user you specify with the -u option to z2.py, so it will serve requests under that non-privileged user.
