Hi Mumanyi! This will require some knowleage about you operatingsystem since not all operation is allowed being a non-root user. But it basically comes down to this:
Grant the user you would like to run tomcat read and write rights on the whole tomcat install-dir. This because tomcat write down a few things to disk. Make sure that you operating system allow the user to open up the port you which tomcat to run on. Usually ports under 1024 are dissallowed without special privilegies. If you still are having problem you have to read the logs to see why tomcat fails to start correctly.
