Hello there,

I have a fine fella that is going to let me put a game on one of his servers. Problem is getting the Sun Java to install correctly and allow non-root usage. He wishes to keep his gcj Java as well, and I "think" that is possible using "alternatives", but as I am not a top-notch Linux admin like many of you folks I figure to ask.

Any step-by-steps, advice, criticisms, questions or other possible responses would make me quite thankful.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Check out this and see if it's what you need.

Yes, it does. As it was me that posted the question on that forum. ;)

Between that forum, several hours of google, emails and testing on an empty server the server root and I got it figured out. It really came down to CENTOS syntax on ulimit for users other then root (which we did not have), and proper alt settings (which we did).

Thank you for the response.
