Hi,
I just tried to run Jetty 9 as non root users, using setuid feature without success for binding low port numbers.
I enabled the module setuid in the start.ini and added -Djava.library.path=/opt/jetty/lib/setuid
But I have the following stack trace when starting Jetty:
2015-06-09 16:27:27.211:WARN:oejx.XmlConfiguration:main: Config error at <Call name="addLifeCycleListener"><Arg>| <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.setuid.SetUIDListener"><Set name="startServerAsPrivileged"><Property name="jetty.startServerAsPrivileged" default="false"/></Set><Set name="umaskOctal"><Property name="jetty.umask" default="002"/></Set><Set name="username"><Property name="jetty.username" default="jetty"/></Set><Set name="groupname"><Property name="jetty.groupname" default="jetty"/></Set></New>| </Arg></Call> java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException in file:/opt/jetty/etc/jetty-setuid.xml

Those are the only references to this error:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-1197http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/msg01657.html
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dropwizard-user/aap2B_U_QPo
But they are either stopped or do not show the solution.
The source code I found for the setuid package is:
https://github.com/jetty-project/codehaus-jetty-project/blob/master/jetty-setuid/modules/java/src/main/java/org/mortbay/setuid/SetUID.java
Even though I cannot be sure this is the version I am using, given this one is from a org.mortbay package, while the one Jetty 9 uses is an Eclipse one.
I tried setting -Djetty.libsetuid.path in the java args (first try-catch block), either adding the path to the $PATH variable or setting -Djava.library.path (second try-catch block) and leaving it as it is (third try-catch block). I got the same exception stack in all the cases.
I cannot be sure if Jetty is either not finding the so file or not being able to load it, given that, if I remove all the references to the path (the cases I described latter), I still get the same error message.
I use Java7 to run Jetty.
