file ownerships

[Rob Agar <ro...@supedo.co.uk>]

hi!

I'm running tomcat on linux. I want to start the server from a particular
account (ie not root). It has been run as root, so there are a load of
generates files that are owned by root and can't be over written by another
user.
Is it safe to /chown -R tomcat.tomcat/ the whole directory, or will this
break things?
