#2332: Tomcat fails to start on installed systems
-----------------------+---------------------------

 Priority:  critical   |  Milestone:  OSGeoLive14.0
Component:  OSGeoLive  |   Keywords:  tomcat
-----------------------+---------------------------
 After installing OSGeoLive 14.0 (rc5) to a VM (using the default user
 "user"), tomcat fails to start from the menu launchers (52nSOS and
 52nWPS).

 The reason for this is that the group "users" does not exist, instead the
 "user" group is created for the "user". This has obviously changed in
 Ubuntu 20.04

 This leads to /etc/sudoers.d/tomcat file to need editing in order to
 reflect this "user" group. Without this edit, sudo will not work for
 starting tomcat and the launchers will fail.
