Bug report #546 has just been filed. You can view the report at the following URL: <http://znutar.cortexity.com/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/546> REPORT #546 Details. Project: Tomcat Category: Feature Requests SubCategory: Enhancement Class: suggest State: received Priority: high Severity: non-critical Confidence: public Environment: Release: Tomcat 3.2 JVM Release: 1.2.2 Operating System: LINUX OS Release: 6.2 Platform: 386 Synopsis: Config files with Multiple User IDs Description: I am running Tomcat on a UNIX-like (LINUX) server and have a practice of having one user ID (softowner) that is the owner of the Tomcat configuration files, class files, and application libraries. In general any file that doesn't need to be modified by the running application. I use another ID (dataowner) as the effective user of the running server. This owns the data files and work files. As Tomcat 3.2 works I can give dataowner write access to webapps/work, I give softowner write access to webapps, webapps/classes, webapps/lib, webapps/htdocs , etc. My problem is that I both softowner and dataowner need write access into the config directory because the program creates config files as the server starts. but softowner needs write access to work with othe config files. I would like to have a way to suppress generation of config files or explicit invokation of the capability. I also want better seperation between what the running program needs write access to and what it only needs read access to.Title: BugRat Report # 546
