I have been running tomcat
<http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1169838&page=1##> on
windows 2003
<http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1169838&page=1##> with no
problems until the computer
<http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1169838&page=1##> was
unexpectdly shut down (power cut).
When I restarted the computer and tried to run tomcat again it wouldn't
work.
I saw the following exception in the catalina_log:
2005-12-27 14:02:10 UserDatabaseRealm[Standalone]: Exception looking up

After inquiring a little I discovered that the tomcat-users.xml file
located at conf directory is empty.
After I replaced this file with a valid one, the problem was solved. I
saw some more messages in this and other forums that regard this
problem.
And here's my question:
I don't want to need to replace this file every time the computer
crashes unexpectedly, how can I prevent this file from being corrupted?
10x,
