[SunHELP] Running Oracle Forms in Port 80 other than root

Assistance needed please.....
I am running Oracle Forms Server on a Solaris 2.6 machine.  It is now in
port 9000, but because of some DOD requirements, I have to now run the
service on port 
80.  However, the only way I can do this is if I run the service as root.
I have called in Oracle for this issue, but they advised me to also look for
answers from the 
UNIX community as to why root has taken exclusive use of port 80.  There are
no other services that I can see in the machine that is using port 80.

Thanks for your help,
