So: Opinions on hacking that into the RPMs/setup script?
I would expect it to follow upstream.
Actually the upstream documentation strongly recommends one use "nobody". Sounds like a bad idea to me (and I use "dirsrv"), but that's the *strong* recommendation in the installation guide:
"1.2.2. Directory Server User and Group
The setup process sets a user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) as which the servers will run. The default UID is a non-privileged (non-root) user, nobody on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris and daemon on HP-UX. Red Hat strongly recommends using this default value."
