FreeBSD Port: jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9

[ET Support]

To reduce security vulnerabilities will you please tell me what exact
directories need to be www:www ?

Also, I recommend you build a chown into the jakarta port so other users do
not have to deal with these permissions issues.

Thanks,
Ben

Alternatively, you could change the ownership of the relevant tomcat
directories to www:www.
