Thanks Chuck, this makes sense but I'm not sure when the directory
settings changed. Currently I have CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat5 and:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 17 01:59 /usr/share/tomcat5/conf ->
/etc/tomcat5
drwxrwxr-x  4 root tomcat4 4096 Feb 16 15:06 /etc/tomcat5

So I should chown tomcat4 /etc/tomcat5?

Regards,

Tom
