owned by root

[Melanie Pfefer]

Hi

Any idea what makes web applications owned by root even though tomcat runs as a non-root user? (I have mod_jk installed and apache running as root)

Thank you,

I have two thoughts:

1. You installed the webapp as root which caused the OS to write the
files owned by root
2. There's some kind of security cron job resetting file permissions in
areas like /var

Uh, Uh.  What do you mean by "web applications owned by root" anyway ?
do you mean the files under (Tomcat_dir)/webapps/ ?
