Hi,

I have installed JBoss 3.2.6 on RHEL.
I copied jboss_init_redhat.sh and I am using it start/stop jboss.

'jboss_init_redhat.sh start' works fine, but 'jboss_init_redhat.sh stop" gives the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.security.SimplePrincipal not found

The error message:
