Some distro packaging systems while admittedly are lacking in certain areas are there for a reason. 1) Tomcat is not perfect software and thus may have some security issue either in core or in the default context that's enabled by default and thus not everyone follows such alerts/advisories for a living. (Trusting that the distro will issue an update and the system is regularly maintained.) 2) I'm not sure this takes into account the install of tomcat native libs and also any distro related changes there etc etc... > > Martijn > <snip /> > > > Apparently the latest version ( 5.5.20-2etch1) has additional > security headaches features which prevent wicket from > functioning properly out-of-the-box: I consider this a positive thing as it means some forethought has actually gone into this package. <snip /> > > Any ideas on how to better configure Tomcat? Not at the moment. The best I can offer is give me about a week and I'll see if I can get deb etch installed in vmware and have a look.
