You need to understand RBAC. There's a line somewhere in the generated
manifest that looks
like:
<method_credential user='root' privileges='basic'/>
Which means that although Glassfish does start up as root, it runs with much
lower privileges than root usually has.
I guess you could change this to a different user if you were extra paranoid.
