Linux Gurus,

Hope some one will be able to answer a few questions here:

I have sifted through a lot of literature but finally 'am putting my
requirements in order (writing)

I need the following:

1. Need apache httpd run in non-root mode ('understand sudo will get
me started, and apache will start initially as root-privileged and transition
to non-root)

2. Make group called apache-tomcat and add httpd to that

3. Add tomcat (process) to the apache-tomcat group

4. Add a directory (out side tomcat/apache folder) that needs to be
write-read for apache-tomcat group. My web application needs to read write files into that directory

How do 'achieve this? what commands would be executed.

Thanks a bunch in anticipation
