Hi Stephen,
Just one more important point, and that is to be sure NOT to run Tomcat as
"root'.  If you are using a manual install of Tomcat, as opposed to
installing it through the package manager of Linux, it is best practice to
create a seperate user for tomcat, and run the process as a non-privileged
user. There are numerous examples on the net to show you how to achieve
this. We should probably highlight this in the implementation guide a bit
better, but it it documented there from the standpoint of using the package
manager to install Tomcat, as opposed to a manual install.

Regards,
Jason
