Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
On fresh Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install of tomcat6 6.0.24-2ubuntu1, the
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps has the following permissions:
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps drwxrwxr-x tomcat6 adm
'adm' seems like on odd default choice of group here, since typically people in
the adm are allowed to read log files. The following command demonstrates this:
$ sudo find / -group adm -ls
I suggested fix is to change the group to 'tomcat6', since the directory
already has 'r-x' for 'other'.
This is not release critical for Lucid, but should be fixed
nevertheless.
** Affects: tomcat6 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Low
Status: Confirmed
** Description changed:
