[peterj]

Did you install JBoss while running as root? And you are now trying to run it as your account? You could either change the ownership of the files, or change the access mode.

By the way, what I did was first changed /opt to be fully accessible by everyone, then I installed JBoss using my own account. Might not be the most secure mechanism, but worked for me.

[jwenting]

would have been more secure to give full access to just your account or accountgroup, yes.
But seeing the number of machines that have only a root account which is used for everything it's no less secure than the majority of servers out there.
