Package: tomcat4
Version: 4.1.31-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When tomcat4 is started, it gives a brief password prompt, which then times out. The output looks like this:
Starting Tomcat 4.1 servlet engine using Java from /usr/share/j2sdk1.5-sun: Password: su: Authentication failure
Sorry.
Gives the same error with SDK 1.4, or when started from a root login shell.
