Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 00:07:55 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 13 Michal Haško 2012-01-05 11:53:29 UTC

As checked in the latest build (tomcat6-6.0.24-37):

 * /var/log/${NAME} is owned by the rpm package
 * tomcat6-6.0.init no longer contains the erroneous makeHomeDir()
 * tomcat6-6.0.wrapper redirects output to ${CATALINA_BASE}/logs/catalina.out for
   all 'start' 'start-security' and 'stop' actions.

==> marking as VERIFIED

Please someone find a security bug in tomcat6 so that Red Hat, who clearly knows there are problems with the package, can justify actually releasing the fixes... even if Red Hat Product Management's doesn't understand them.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
