The /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out file from tomcat6 package fails rpm verification with rpm -V
Issue

After installing the tomcat6 package and then starting the tomcat6 service,
/var/log/tomcat6/catalina.outgets flagged byrpm -Vaas having a bad size, checksum, and timestamp. This is problematic for systems that must follow the RHEL6 STIG. Ref: V-38447. -
When running the
rpm -V tomcat6command, the output shows a content issue with/var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out. As catalina.out is a log file, it is incorrect behavior to have it flagged with verify.
