Bug#457956: /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 doesn't check user right to start or stop tomcat and hangs

[Vera Mickael]

Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.20-2
Severity: important


The script should warn the user that has no rights for this 
operation.

As you may notice I use my own jdk package but I don't think 
this has an effect on this problem.
