All,

I was trying to setup jetty on port 80 but its giving exception saying permission denied as below. I have setup jetty to work with setuid and configured start.ini as follows:

OPTIONS=Server,jsp,jmx,resources,websocket,ext,plus,annotations,jta,jdbc,setuid

(below as first configuration file in start.ini)

etc/jetty-setuid.xml

and jetty-setuid.xml file with username and group name of non root user.
