Yes, it asks - no, it doesn't create:
System User [nobody]: dirserv
The user 'dirserv' is invalid.
So: Opinions on hacking that into the RPMs/setup script?

Is there a bugreport about this somewhere ?
If that should get into the rpms/setup script is Tim's call....

Not that I know - And I wonder if that should happen upstream or here.

Yeah. I already identified where it has to be changed, so: "TIM! HUHU!"

IMHO, I would create a bugreport in upstreams bugzilla (and in ours
for reference), document it on the wiki page and wait for upstream to
fix it. I prefer to keep the packages as closely to upstreams as
possible.
In this case is a pretty simple thing that can be done manually, not a
real bug in the code, more a missing feature.
Anyway, if people shout hard enough I just might add it.
Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.

I would expect it to follow upstream.
Actually the upstream documentation strongly recommends one use
"nobody". Sounds like a bad idea to me (and I use "dirsrv"),
but that's the *strong* recommendation in the installation guide:
"1.2.2. Directory Server User and Group
The setup process sets a user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) as
which the servers will run. The default UID is a non-privileged
(non-root) user, nobody on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris
and daemon on HP-UX. Red Hat strongly recommends using this
default value."

One instance of CDS is now used as a replicant of the FDS master
(Solaris 9).
The next step is to interrogate this replicant instead of the current
FDS replicant (CentOS 4).

Just curious. Are we ready for this? I think it is still part of testing.

Just want to add another praise for centos-ds-8.0.0-1.4.el5.centos.4.
Have been running 3 multi-master replicating clusters on it for months
(with around 1 million entries). Works perfectly.
Would love to see the non-beta stamp on it :-)
