when the RPM is installed, all the files are owned by root.root.

I have an RPM that I created. All the files are owner by user tfel0, and group tfel0...

gumby /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64:# rpm -qlpv jboss-server-tfel0-4.2.3.GA-1.tf.x86_64.rpm | head -5
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfel0 tfel0 11360 Jul 18 2008 /opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/tfel0/conf/jboss-log4j.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfel0 tfel0 7606 Jul 18 2008 /opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/tfel0/conf/jboss-minimal.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfel0 tfel0 37301 Jul 18 2008 /opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/tfel0/conf/jboss-service.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfel0 tfel0 8673 Jul 18 2008 /opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/tfel0/conf/jbossjta-properties.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfel0 tfel0 194 Jul 18 2008 /opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/tfel0/conf/jndi.properties[/FONT]

The tfel0 user and group exist on the system…

gumby /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64:# cat /etc/passwd | grep tfel0
tfel0: x:10005:10005:JBoss tfel0:/home/tfel0:/bin/bash

gumby /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64:# cat /etc/group | grep tfel0
tfel0: x:10005:

However, when the RPM is installed, all the files are owned by root.root.

How come???

I think thats normal. You install as root. the software,
once installed,becomes part of the system, and should
be available to run as a normal user.
