You are correct - the tomcat4 executable is in /usr/bin, and "tomcat4 start" does initiate the startup process (although it aborts with some errors - needs configuring). I am going to use the tar.gz binary distribution as you (and Yoav) recommend - but I see that the rpm version may work with some loving care.
