BlankHi Gurus,

I have a security concern of a process running on the servers [Solaris,
HPUX, Windows 2000] etc. As I know you Gurus are the best in every
technology I request each one of your valuable inputs to make me to take a
firm decision.

1. What is the concern and limitation if I run a JAVA process in a non-root
mode related to security

2. What is the concern when we run the same JAVA process in a root mode
related to security

Appreciate all of your feedback and I will summarize for sure.

With Best Regards,

Praveen
