389-cosole - how to use?

[Jan Kowalsky]

Hi Brian,

thanks a lot.

Unfortuanately it doesn't work yet: starting dirsrv-admin gives

~# /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin start
Starting dirsrv-admin: 
apache2.worker: bad group name nobody

And I didn't find out yet how to fix it. But I got at least one step closer ;-)

Kind Regars
