Though /etc/tomcat5.5 permissions are weird (to say the least), tomcat-users.xml is not world-readable, since /etc/tomcat5.5 is not world-readable.
Having the file adm readable is a trade-off. What would changing it to 600 tomcat55:adm exactly bring ?
Note that for tomcat6, when fixing permissions I made a different trade-off. tomcat-users.xml is 640 root:tomcat6 so that only root can modify it and only the tomcat6 group can read it.
