Problems installing 389 on Precise

 

At Timo's suggestion, I upgraded my experimental server to Precise.
(Amazingly smooth upgrade, BTW. :) I've had several issues with 389:

First is a problem with the "user: nobody\ngroup:nobody" line in
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf. This causes apache2 to complain
about "apache2: bad group name nobody". Commenting out those lines in
console.conf fixes that issue, though what problems it may cause besides
limiting security I don't know.

Second is a missing log file. Specifically this is what I see:
    Starting dirsrv-admin:
    (2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file
/var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error.
    Unable to open logs
    Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
    /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin: 126: /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin: failure:
not found
Manually creating /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv and chowning it to dirsrv
seems to fix that.

Third, and critically, is a segfault.
    Starting dirsrv-admin:
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
    /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin: 126: /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin: failure:
not found
