How to run daemon process being a normal user [not root user].
 
I want to run a http daemon/service being a "test" user through "chroot" command as follows. so that "mychroot_dir" becomes as "/".

$/usr/sbin/chroot mychroot_dir /apache/bin/httpd -k start

/usr/sbin/chroot: cannot change root directory to mychroot_dir: Operation not permitted

Here i have 3 questions to ask:

1. Under which user i have to run "/sbin/runuser".

2. weather chroot command will not work under a normal user.

3. Is there any alternate solution for the above requirement.

Thanks in advance
