[Anthill] Setting up on OSX 10.3.6

[Eric Minick]

No problem. On the security side, I'm no expert, but generally having a 
specific "tomcat" user who only belongs to the "tomcat" group should 
keep the permissions of your web app in check. That wouldn't need 
permissions to just about anything other than tomcat, you web apps and a 
home directory.
