Yup - It's in there.

Also - Here is how the JPackage creates the user for the Tomcat install (I'm guessing you are going to ask me to add this to the JIRA next, so I'll go ahead and add it :-) ):

%pre # Add the "tomcat" user and group # we need a shell to be able to use su - later if grep ^tomcat: /etc/group 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then echo Group tomcat already exists, not adding group else if grep :%{tcuid}: /etc/group 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then echo GID %{tcuid} already exists, not adding group else %{_sbindir}/groupadd -g %{tcuid} -r tomcat 2> /dev/null || : fi fi if grep ^tomcat: /etc/passwd 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then echo User tomcat already exists, not adding user else if grep x:%{tcuid}: /etc/passwd 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then echo UID %{tcuid} already exists, not adding user else %{_sbindir}/useradd -c "Tomcat" -u %{tcuid} -g tomcat \ -s /bin/sh -r -d %{homedir} tomcat 2> /dev/null || : fi fi

Also - Here's a sampling of how JPackage assigns file ownership:

# Directories with special permissions %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{appdir} %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{confdir} %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{tempdir} %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{workdir} %attr(755,tomcat,tomcat) %dir %{logdir} %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{confdir}/Catalina %attr(775,root,tomcat) %dir %{confdir}/Catalina/localhost %attr(755,root,root) %{_bindir}/* %attr(755,root,root) %{bindir}/* %attr(755,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/init.d/%{name} %attr(644,root,tomcat) %config(noreplace) %{confdir}/catalina.policy %attr(644,root,tomcat) %config(noreplace) %{confdir}/catalina.properties %attr(660,root,tomcat) %config(noreplace) %{confdir}/jk2.properties %attr(660,root,tomcat) %config(noreplace) %{confdir}/logging.properties %attr(660,root,tomcat) %config(noreplace) %{confdir}/tomcat-users.xml

So if we converted our spec over to something similar to this, and then fix the uninstall part (Still looking into) I think we should have a pretty solid RPM.
