[389-users] Problem with permissions in RHEL6

[Predrag Zecevic [Unix Systems Administrator]]

Hi,

LDAP server should not be running as nobody...
Which user account you have used on OLD system and which one on NEW?

Can you paste output from:
ps -ef | grep dirsrv
form both boxes here?

Regards.

P.S. Usually, there is ldap:ldap username:groupname reserved for this use.
