I'm assuming this is on linux?  Check your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory 
for tomcat4.  If it's there, you should just run:

bash$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4 start

The RPM should have also installed in the startup scripts in /usr/bin 
or /usr/sbin.

It is "ready" for primetime, you just have to realize that the RPM version 
is not just a "self-install" version of the binary version.  The RPM 
maintainer has made some decisions and assumptions about how things should 
be that are different than the assumptions made for the binary version.

Thanks anyway... I fell back to the tar.gz installation and everything
went well. I would like to use rpm, but it does not seem quite ready
for prime time to me.

Obviously, Tomcat is up and running...you'll need to make some changes 
to your server.xml and web.xml files.

Online docs are here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/index.html

It's been awhile since I installed 4.1 via RPM, but I did have to tweak 
a couple things to get the default web app up and running.

Thanks Brian, that got me a bit closer. I became root user
and ran
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4 start
Starting tomcat4:                                          [  OK  ]

as you explained. When I went to check it out with my browser
at http://localhost:8080

got connection refused.


  HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request


Note: I have previously installed and used
tomcat 4.0 from binary (not rpm) and was able to make
progress. I wanted to go to 4.1 and use rpm. But it seems
that documentation is nonexistent. Or am I missing something?
