Hi everyone, I'm writing a small web servlet using the PLT Scheme web server libraries. The servlet needs to run on port 80, but on Unix systems, I need to be root to bind to port 80. I feel a little nervous when I have a long-running, network-accessible service, especially if it runs as the superuser. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to drop privileges here?
