Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.18-3
Severity: normal

Various directories that used to have group "adm" in tomcat5.5 are now
either root-only or onwer root, group tomcat6. So you need to be root
to add webapps or configure Tomcat (or be in group tomcat6, but that
does not look like a good idea). It should suffice to be in group
"adm".

The following should have owner tomcat6.adm:

  /etc/tomcat6
  /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps

together with the files contained therein.
