Help installing Tomcat with a Webapp

[Gustavo Henrique Orair]

I have developed a webapp to be distributed for final users.
The problem is that my webapp will call an executable that will create
processes using PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) in other machines using SSH.

I want to know what is the good solution for get this working.

I thougth in the cases:
1 - Create a common user on all computers of the clusters an then run Tomcat
as this user.

2 - Create a common user on all computers and in the machine that runs
Tomcat, I will create an user with the same id of tomcat5.

3 - Really create tomcat5 in all machines (but i have to create a home and
password for this user in this case).

I want to know what is the best solution, and how to really implement this
solution. If the first option is the best solution what is the best way to
do this and tell to my clients to do? Is it really just edit
/etc/default/tomcat5 and changes the owner of all Tomcat directories to this
user (which directories I really want to change the owner)?

I apreciatte any help, really telling me where i can found a tutorial that
answer these questions...

Thanks for the attention,
