Thanks for the reply Josh!  I was wondering if anyone else in the CAS
community even bothered with RHEL for a moment there.

A couple extra questions for you:

After looking over the startup and shutdown scripts from the Tomcat
binary distribution, I don't understand where you can specify the user
Tomcat is suppose to run as.

1. How do I set the user Tomcat should run as?
2. Did you ever consider using the jsvc daemon?  If so, then why didn't
you?
4. Are you starting Tomcat manually or does RHEL do it?

Thanks for the help!

We're using the default startup / shutdown scripts provided with
Tomcat on RHEL / CentOS 5.  Those default to running Tomcat as the
tomcat user instead of as root.
