David,

I don't know about Redhat 7.3, but the default
configuration in Redhat 9 restricts user "noone" and
"nobody" so that network access does not work.

I am using similar scripts, but installed Tomcat from
the binaries and made two users.

1. tomcat is a normal user and has rw access to the
/home/tomcat directory structure.

2. tomcat-op is a user in the same group, but only has
write access to the appropriate areas (temp, work,
logs - plus some other logging for specific apps).

This seems to work reasonably well, although I could
probably tie down the security in a better fashion.

/mde/
just my two cents . . . .
