Are you sure you are changing the umask for the jsvc process? I wonder
if the umask is being re-set to something else when jsvc elevates itself
to root. You should ask the commons folks about how to do this with
jsvc, as this is really off-topic, here (but we'd love to hear the
I posted an answer to this a couple of days ago. I don't think the OP
quite understands
that 'umask' is a *shell* command. Consequently if you have a shell
script like 'tomcat' for jsvc or startup.sh
you must set the umask in the shell script because a new shell is
created each time.
As I posted in my example, I set umask to 027 in my jsvc startup script
and it works just fine. tomcat starts as root, binds to the ports and
then switches to the 'tomcat' user. The pid file is owned by root (as it
should be) and files created by tomcat are '640' which is what I wanted.
Another point that I think the OP was confused about was that you *must*
have root permission to bind to system ports in linux - so you must
either start tomcat as root or with a script invoked by 'sudo'
You can also set umask in /etc/profile which will apply to all users -
but probably not a good thing to do.
