privileged ports

        I've recently installed apache, and being used to Netscape's
server, I wasn't particularly thrilled that one of the httpd's has to stay
running as root.

        Does anyone know if there is a way to allow not-root users to bind
to ports less than 1024? I was hoping that someone at Compaq would have
implemented an ACL-style setup for this, so that I could allow user http
to bind to port 80. If not, it would sure be a great feature to add to
the next version.

        I'm currently running 5.1

Thanks,

Tom
