Tomcat requesting password at start up

[Scott and Michele]

I posted and earlier message at this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg59606.html

My problem was fixed and then I changed my etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf
file to include:
TOMCAT_USER="myUser"

This seemed to work fine, and I chown on the files I thought I would need to
run tomcat under a user other than root ('myUser').

Now when I am logged in as myUser and I enter the command :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4 start
I get a slight delay then a message :
starting tomcat4:  Password:

When I hit enter or try myUser's password, here I get the message:
su:  incorrect password:

Any idea why this is asking for a password now?  Tomcat runs fine when I log
in as root, but I do not want to do that for the reasons noted in my earlier
post.

Thanks
