Re: security best practice

2008/5/2 ChadDavis <chadmichaeldavis@xxxxxxxxx>:
I'd like some advice from the admins. I'm a developer who admins my own
environment in a home office. I get things done, but perhaps not in the
best fashion.

For instance, I just installed the tomcat server via the debian
repositories. By default, all of the files go in under the root ownership
and group. I want my developer users to be able to access all of the
various tomcat files, from logs and conf stuff to startup scripts. What is
the "right" way of granting this access to my users?


Hello,

you can create a user that owns all the tomcat dir. And also a group,
and put that users in that group. If you also run tomcat in the
default 8080 port, that user can also start/stop the server.

Best regards,
Sergio Cuellar
