I can't think of any. But my question is: is there a reason to have separate users 'dspace' and 'tomcat'? Unless you're doing something fancy, I would just have an account for Tomcat and let DSpace's files be owned by it. The installation guide seems quite firm that there is a user named 'dspace', but that's not at all necessary. What *is* necessary is that Tomcat have read access to DSpace's configuration and web applications, and write access to the logs, assetstore, upload directory, etc. So normally I just install Tomcat via the OS' package manager and let the whole DSpace installation directory tree be owned by whatever account the package manager created for Tomcat. -- Mark H.
