starting tomcat as non-root
Hi all.
I'm o TC4.0.4
I know this subject has been discussed many times before.
Are we getting any close to starting tomcat with user "nobody" or
"tomcat" or anything like that on 8080?
Sorry for the repetitiveness

su tomcat -c tomcatstartscript
You will need to give the tomcat user write access to the appropriate
directories (the log directory, the webapps directory (if you unpack
wars) and any other work directories) spring to mind. Obviously it will
also have to have read access to a bunch of stuff.
The redhat rpms alraady do this (with the tomcat4 user).
