There is no default username/password, and it's documented in
/usr/share/doc/tomcat5.5/README.Debian.
  

there is no manager role in tomcat-users.xml ... should I also add that... I modified the both username to have the manager role, but am not sure if that role also needs to be added

Here is the file after my mod:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="manager,tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

BTW the admin webapp has been removed for lenny (it was removed upstream).
  

the admin webapp is highly useful for deploying .war files ... why was it removed? I dont know what 'removed upstream' means, but I think the admin webapp needs to be there.
