in chapter 11 of the pdf on yaws it says:

YAWS is of course susceptible to intrusions. YAWS has the ability to
run under a different user than root - Assuming we need to listen to
privileged port numbers.

I don't quite understand this phrase. I can run yaws as user foo, but
I don't see how with port < 1024. How is this done?

thx,

-wes
