[Bug 624739] Re: /etc/tomcat6 is created with the wrong permissions

[Thierry Carrez]

/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)
