A script in /etc is not the standard method to start tomcat. I'd guess you're using debian, and used apt-get install tomcat? It sets up several non-standard options, like enabling the security manager by default. Either edit the /etc/init.d/tomcat5 script (it says where to change it to turn off the security manager inside the script), or use a different version (probably an official release) of tomcat.

For testing at least, how can I turn the security manager off?

I haven't used catalina.sh start -security

I use the standard /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start method

Also, I've added the grant permissions to the catalina.policy file, but
every time I start up tomcat the file reverts to its standard and re-writes
my edits?!?!!? Quite frustrating.
