That was it, thanks. 

For others similarly inexperienced with java webapps; I have installed a 
couple of other java web programs (Scarab, jWebmail), but in those cases 
built a .war file (generally as root) and put it in my Tomcat webapps folder, 
letting Tomcat5 take care of unpacking it - doing this, Tomcat sets the right 
permissions.

With Lenya, I followed the instructions and let the build process install the 
lenya files directly; the permissions were then set for the user I was 
building as (i.e., root), which caused the permission problem noted earlier.

I fixed this by 
 chown -R tomcat5.nogroup lenya
in my tomcat5/webapps/ folder, though I guess the right thing would have been 
to build lenya as tomcat5. Should this be expressly stated in the 
documentation for the benefit of neophytes such as myself? I checked the 
INSTALL-SRC.txt, didn't see mention of it. 

Works now, thanks,

B.
