I'd like to take out the whole notion of creating a user "dspace" and let the Tomcat installation drive this aspect. People trip over this again and again, sometimes getting into quite a mess before seeking help.
Really, the step-by-step instructions are incorrect. Step 1 is "create the DSpace user" and shows you how to create a user named "dspace". But the procedure assumes that Tomcat is already installed (see step 8), so the user used to run Tomcat is already created. Further, a lot of sites will probably just use their distro's package manager to install Tomcat, and that will create a user for it without regard to DSpace, probably naming it "tomcat". I think we should be advising people to find out what account Tomcat uses, and chown the DSpace files to that. Having the tail wag the 'cat is too confusing. -- Mark H.
