Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
While it's not recommended to run tomcat as root, there are
circumstances that make it a necessity, like embedded systems. (IMHO
Linux should not enforce policy at this level)
Anyway, setting the following in /etc/default/tomcat6
TOMCAT6_USER=root
Yields this when trying to start tomcat:
#> /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
* Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6
/bin/bash already running.
If there are _any_ login sessions on the machine, IOW if there are any
bash instances, it fails to run.
So, here's a patch that fixes this while not making any changes to
policy or who can run what as who.
Here's the relevant version info:
Ubuntu 64 bit 10.04
ii libtomcat6-java 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 Servlet and JSP
engine -- core libraries
ii tomcat-cfg 6.0.15-01 OSA tomcat config
ii tomcat6 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 Servlet and JSP

ii tomcat6-admin 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 Servlet and JSP
