Sounds good

telnet-ssh rpm should be built as perfsonar user but installed as root.

Normally, all the packages, perfsonar-tomcat and perfsonar-exist
should install files that belongs to perfsonar user. So all the folder 
perfsonar-tomcat and perfsonar-exist
should have the following UNIX access rights: perfsonar:perfsonar with 
read/write access for user perfsonar.

When you build your own package (using perfsonar user) make sure that 
all the files you install
have also the same UNIX access right. (i.e perfsonar:perfsonar with 
read/write access for perfsonar user)

Make sure that during the telnet/ssh mp rpm building process all these 
UNIX rights are set accordingly.


Just be careful when executing perfsonar-tomcat as root, because all the 
files created at this time will be owned by root (e.g root:root). So 
afterwads if you launch the perfsonar-tomcat as perfsonar user, tomcat 
won't start because of the files permission ...

If you're not sure, log as root and issue the followinf command:
chown -R perfsonar:perfsonar ~perfsonar
chmod -R u+rw perfsonar:perfsonar ~perfsonar

Hope this help.
