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.

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." -jf
