I agree with that statement. The current version of tomcat6 correctly supports two modes of operation: running as a system instance as the "tomcat6" user (package "tomcat6") or running as a private instance under the user of your choice (package "tomcat6-user", then use tomcat6 -instance-create).
Changing that TOMCAT6_USER line will make it run as another user, but it will most likely fail to work properly without additional changes. ** Summary changed: - tomcat6 package should respect dpkg-statoverride (support running as a different user) + tomcat6 package should fully support running as a different user -- tomcat6 package should fully support running as a different user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
