Gunnar,
My understanding is that if you launch Tomcat fresh (Never been started before) it will create catalina.out and the pid-file, and since it's running at a non-root user (Say user tomcat), user tomcat will own the pid and the catalina.out file, as well as any other files created at runtime.
If you already started tomcat as root, then catalina.out is root owned. Just chown it to whatever user you are running as and I would also chmod catalina.out permissions to 600 so that only tomcat can read and write to it.
Cheers,
- Ole
