As per Tomcat documentation: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/logger.html
"directory" should work ok. Check if the user tomcat is running as has permissions to create files in /usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/users3/ROOT/. With regards to tomcat-users.xml this is a trade off tomcat and all webapps running as the same OS user. The best option to use digested passwords in tomcat-users.xml (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html#Digested%20Pas swords) . This way webapps would not be able to hack passwords easily.
