I noticed there's a tomcat user on my system: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/passwd | grep tom tomcat:x:91:91:Tomcat:/usr/share/tomcat5:/bin/sh I'm just getting started using Tomcat on FC4. Should I be su'ing to tomcat to work with files in (and copy files into) /var/lib/tomcat5? Or do I work in there as root, then chown -R everthing to root:tomcat when I'm done? And why are there links in the tomcat user's home directory (/usr/share/tomcat5) pointing to all the relevant tomcat5 directories? As usual, I'm writing out my notes and leaving them lying around in case they might be useful for someone else: http://www.simisen.com/jmg/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SimpleServlet ---John ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
