[fedora-java] su to tomcat user?
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:
