Nope, it's what shipped with FC4. tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_6fc.

Odd that a package that shipped w/ FC4 is dependent on a package that
didn't.

Pulled in & installed those two. "service tomcat5 start" now
works. Looks like the manager is home at
http://taltos.localdomain:8080/manager/html. At
http://taltos.localdomain:8080 I get a white screen of death, which
makes sense as there is nothing in $CATALINA_HOME except the balancer
directory.
