found some things that were missing:

in the /usr/share/tomcat5/server/webapps/admin/WEB-INF/lib directory:

symbolic links for these three included files (in the tar for the admin 
utility) weren't there:
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-collections.jar

After going to the admin app once, I get a white page. After that is 
refreshed, I get this:


  HTTP Status 503 - Servlet admin.login_jsp is currently unavailable

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*type* Status report

*message* _Servlet admin.login_jsp is currently unavailable_

*description* _The requested service (Servlet admin.login_jsp is 
currently unavailable) is not currently available._

------------------------------------------------------------------------


      Apache Tomcat/5.5.27




in the log files I see this:
