Prior to R5, you could install on UNIX using the default user "notes" and default group "notes" regardless of other factors. In R5, this procedure has changed somewhat.

If you install with the default user "notes" and group "notes" (notes.notes), you will be unable to run the server if the login user account (notes.notes) does not exist and you are not running as user notes.notes. You should always install the server with the user and group of the login user account which will be used to run the server. (For partitioned servers, each Data directory should be installed with the login ID and group that will be used to run that partitioned server).

For example, as root user, installing Domino with two partitioned servers run under the existing login ID's of server1.notes and server2.notes (respectively), you must:

• Modify the default user name on the first partitioned server data directory from "notes" to "server1", leaving the group "notes" intact.
• Next, modify the default user name on the second partitioned server data directory from "notes" to "server2", leaving the group "notes" intact.
• You must next log in as server1.notes to run the first partitioned server, or log in as server2.notes to run the second partitioned server. If instead you log in as server3.notes and try to run the server from server2's data directory, certain files cannot be opened (since they are owned by server2 with user-read-only bits set). Server3 is therefore unable to start up the server.
