Re: tomcat4 write in conf files which is not FHS compliant
I'm not sure about this. AFAIK on RedHat and Mandrake ( and probably any other distro ) there are tools that are modifying config files ( in etc ). I don't know how the FHS can request 'read only' status. jk2.properties saving can be disabled. Right now the feature is not completely implemented - we still need the java interface ( JMX proxy ) and documentation. So disabling it for now is fine. But from all I know, the configuration is RW.

tomcat4 write in conf files which is not FHS compliant
Hi to all, Tomcat 4 make write access to 2 files in the conf directory, jk2.properties and tomcat-users.xml (and may be others). The problem is that FHS indicate that a conf directory should be read only. For instance, tomcat4 rpm install the conf directory in /etc/tomcat4 and use symlink to map it to /var/tomcat4/conf. What could be done to have a behaviour following FHS recommandations ? Could we imagine having jk2.properties and tomcat-users.xml (and other files in conf which may be updated by tomcat4) in another directory, ie work/conf ?
