Tomcat 5.5.23, sun-jdk 1.5.0_11, CentOS 4.8. Tomcat was
built/installed from upstream. Tomcat service starts and runs normally
if user tomcat's entry in /etc/passwd has "/home/tomcat:/bin/bash" but
not if it has "/dev/null:/sbin/nologin". Would rather have it work set
to the latter, which seems to be the "industrially correct" thing to do.
I discovered this when I was trying to fix the Tomcat service failing to
start and I changed the tomcat user account to look like a normal user's
so I could execute catalina.sh manually via su. I had to chmod +x some
.sh files that the install script did not set and then executing
catalina.sh could start and stop the instance, but now I can only start
the service with the tomcat user account left like that.
Thanks,
