Hi Karthikeyan: What I did was basically following those previous mails' help hints. First, I created a directory base for my tomcat files, using that I created a tomcat user for that and disable shell access also since I feel that it's not needed. Following that, I fire up the tomcat thru startup.sh as usual (su and/or login); take note also that if you are binding to port80 or <1024, then you'll still root access [this is also highlighted by the replies]. Of course, if you want more customization, you can then create the rc"s, and I think that was also mentioned in one of the contributors replies.
Good luck, and Happy new year. P.S. Btw, does anyone know is there a way where I could run w/o login/su'ing to normal user; ie as root, fire up startup.sh but processes created will be by owner of the tomcat files?
