Description of problem:
/var/lib/tomcat (/usr/share/tomcat/webapps link) has owner root:root, 
permissions 755 after installation (from up2date).  When a vendor 
supplied .war is put into this directory, it should be unpacked at 
startup but user tomcat doesn't have permissions to write to this 
directory and the extraction fails (the error logs complain about 
missing class file which is contained within the .war file).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL3, RHAPS 2.95, tomcat 4.1.27-8

How reproducible:
Putting custom .war file into tomcat directory, starting tomcat.  
Vendor application is not installed/available from tomcat.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install tomcat
2. Install vendor .war file to /usr/share/tomcat, owner 
tomcat:tomcat, permissions 444
3. Start tomcat
  
Actual results:
Error unpacking .war file (complains about missing class file, but 
the entire contents of .war file are not extracted to the webapps 
directory, i.e. webapps/media.war should be unpacked to directory 
webapps/media).

Expected results:
Unpacked .war file, deployed application

Additional info:
Changing owner (or permissions, really) on /var/lib/tomcat to 
tomcat:tomcat allows the application to unpack and deploy properly.  

Other tomcat directories (work, logs, etc) are all owned by 
tomcat:tomcat -- should /var/lib/tomcat be the same?
