Re: Tomcat won't start on reboot
I'm pretty certain that this is a bug in the woody tomcat4 package.
I have set up woody on 3 different machines all have this same rebooting
problem.
The only way I could resolve the problem was to alter the passwd file to
make the tomcat4 user login using bash.
Can anybody else confirm this problem with tomcat4?
