If you create a special user/group for NMC (running on the backup server - RH Linux server), does it have to be in the local password and group file, or can it be in the NIS password and group files and not defined locally, assuming, of course, that the machine has NIS access?

If it has to be in the local files, can it be removed after installation or possibly after it's been launched once and before it's launched again? In other words, once it's told who to run as, does it need to be able to always find that user/group entry?

Also, does NW have to be running before NMC is installed? I assume it has to be running before NMC will start, yes?
