Shawn took an interesting approach and further stripped down Tomcat. Ask him for details on this. |
The purpose of the serveradmin account is to run Tomcat and java. As such serveradmin can not sudo into root. In the event that Tomcat is somehow attacked serveradmin would be compromised. Not allowing serveradmin access to sudo provides an extra layer of security.
Log in as your staff account which has sudo access to perform the actual move to /opt/

If you go with 64-bit Java (which I recommend against as it's way slower right now) I find it useful to add to the default folder name _64-bit so in that case it would be, jre1.6.0_16*_64-bit*. |
For Solaris, use the sh file, and move it into opt and run it.
You can also do something very similar with my Windows instructions.
