If it doesn't load the examples, I'd be surprised if it really wanted to
load your servlet. (I have been surprised before.) Usually, if it
doesn't run the examples, it isn't running, and what you're really doing
is serving the Tomcat example pages from apache.
Is apache running? That could be getting in your way. Check the web
sharing (ohwhatisthatcalledinEnglishMacOSX?) control panel (???). It's
there with file sharing. Interpret "web sharing" as meaning apache.
Even if you had no problems getting apache and Tomcat running together
on the Linux and Windows set-ups, you probably want to shut it down
while setting Tomcat up on the Mac.
If apache is not running, and your servlet seems to be trying to run,
have you perhaps edited the examples context instead of copying it and
making a new context for your servlet to run in?

I'm thinking I didn't mess with the CLASSPATH for Tomcat 3.3, but my
memory may be wrong. I'll check when I get home tonight. (I've got it
set up on my own iBook.)
What's your server.xml look like? Have you set that (and the stuff it
refers to) up properly? Read the comments and the XML declarations in
there and check them against the docs again.

I think there should be no problem with that, although it isn't really
necessary. You can control who can run as whom with your sudoers file.
Are you setting the users up from the users control panel (???) or from
the network administration app? The latter is the one you want to be
using for users that are there just to run apps under.
Remember to keep root login disabled as much as possible.

I hope that doesn't mean that you're doing "sudo root" to run this all.
If you are, get your sudoers file set up so you can get away from that.
I think there's a man entry on sudoers, but if not, read the entries on
sudo and su very thoroughly. It may take an hour to understand, but
it's definitely worth the effort.
BTW, the openBSD site (and they'll say mean things at me for increasing
their traffic) has some excellent manual pages on line:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi
Plug "sudoers" into the search form. You'll need to remember that there
will be some differences, since Darwin is derived from the freeBSD, but
I find the discussions very helpful.

Whatever user(s) you run mysql, tomcat, and whatever else as, make sure
they are users that can't log on.

I don't think so. It may help you to keep track of things. It may not.
I'm pretty sure I had a separate tomcat and mysql user in my set-up at
home.

At first, it seemed you had some confusion between the mysql permissions
system and the UNIX permissions system. But it looks like that isn't the
problem, after all.
Let's see. You said you had the driver in place. You said you were able
to log into mysql, so your sockets must be okay. I guess I'm out of
ideas, unless your contexts have got something in them that doesn't work
on Mac OS X. How's the case sensitivity? No, if it's working on
MSWindows, then you shouldn't be getting bit by case conflicts.
