I've just added the following stat overrides on a system that had not
yet upgraded to the latest tomcat6 package:
dpkg-statoverride --add cms cms 750 /var/log/tomcat6/
dpkg-statoverride --add cms cms 755 /var/lib/tomcat6/temp/
dpkg-statoverride --add cms cms 750 /var/cache/tomcat6
dpkg-statoverride --add root cms 775 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina
dpkg-statoverride --add root cms 775 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost
dpkg-statoverride --add root cms 775 /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
I then ran a dist-upgrade. After the upgrade, the directories listed
above had all had their user and or group changed as follows:
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /var/log/tomcat6/
drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat6 adm 4096 2010-04-08 09:47 /var/log/tomcat6/
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /var/lib/tomcat6/temp/
drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat6 cms 4096 2009-12-21 15:11 /var/lib/tomcat6/temp/
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /var/cache/tomcat6
drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat6 adm 4096 2010-04-08 10:37 /var/cache/tomcat6
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /etc/tomcat6/Catalina
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat6 4096 2009-10-12 09:27 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost
drwxrwxr-x 2 root tomcat6 4096 2010-04-08 10:37 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost
r...@host:/var/lib/tomcat6# ls -ld /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
drwxrwxr-x 4 root tomcat6 4096 2009-12-18 09:36 /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
Before the upgrade, the permissions and ownership of the directories
matched those specified in the statoverrides.
The postinst scripts for tomcat6_6.0.18-0ubuntu3.3_all.deb and
tomcat6_6.0.24-2ubuntu1_all.deb both contain chowns and chmods like the
following (from 6.0.18):
chown -R tomcat6:adm /var/log/tomcat6 /var/cache/tomcat6
chmod 750 /var/log/tomcat6 /var/cache/tomcat6
chgrp tomcat6 /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml
chmod 640 /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml
chown tomcat6 /var/lib/tomcat6/temp
chgrp tomcat6 /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
chmod 775 /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
chgrp tomcat6 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost
chmod 775 /etc/tomcat6/Catalina /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost
I don't know much about dpkg, but these certainly seem to be hardcoded
to the tomcat6 and adm groups.
