/etc/tomcat6 is only root-writeable by default for security reasons, so that an abuse of the tomcat6 user cannot compromise the whole Tomcat configuration (server.xml, and the users password file). Tomcat6 can write under /etc/tomcat/Catalina/localhost so that autodeployment works.
Your requirement that the tomcat6 user can write in /etc/tomcat6/opencms doesn't come from Tomcat but from OpenCMS. You can change the default protection to suit your particular needs, or use a private instance for OpenCMS (see about tomcat6-user in http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/tomcat.html) ** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- /etc/tomcat6 is created with the wrong permissions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat6 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
