2) this has nothing to do with the user under which Tomcat is running.

You do not say so, but from the above it is a valid guess that you are running tomcat 
under some flavor of Linux, and that you installed it from the package provided by that 
Linux distribution.

Unfortunately, without more information, it is difficult to know how you are really 
starting tomcat, and what influence that "TOMCAT_USER" line really has in the big scheme 
of things.

Try to be more explicit and provide some details, such as which Linux, what command you 
use to start/restart tomcat, what version of Tomcat that is, etc..
We don't have a crystal ball here, so we don't know those things.
