Has anyone been able to install the admin server as a non-root user? With a fresh install, not an upgrade, if I try to use a non-root user "ldapas" instead then the admin server refues to start and leaves a cryptic error message in the logs. Any suggestions?

$ setup/setup
...
Can't start Admin server [/opt/fedora-ds/start-admin > /tmp/file2dDMoZ 2>&1] (error: No such file or directory)
You can now use the console.  Here is the command to use to start the console:
cd /opt/fedora-ds
./startconsole -u admin -a http://straylight.ensenda.com:16116/

INFO Finished with setup, logfile is setup/setup.log
[/opt/fedora-ds]$ lsl -ad .

[/opt/fedora-ds]$ telnet localhost 16116

This is a permissions problem. Did you use the same user for the directory server as for the admin server?
What's in the file /tmp/file2dDMoZ?
What is the output of
ls -l admin-serv/config
?

[/opt/fedora-ds]$ grep ldapas /etc/passwd
ldapas:x:101:102::/opt/fedora-ds:/bin/bash


On a side note, is there any reason not to use the standard redhat "ldap" user instead of "nobody" for the default suggested slapd user?

You should be able to use "ldap".

My impression was that "nobody" should not own any files on the filesystem.
