on the server process and will also be stopped..
Does the NW software have to be running in order to install NMC? I know
I won't be able to run it, but can I do the install without starting any
of the NW processes?
I'd prefer not to start the NW software just yet as this will start the
clock ticking on the built-in 30 day license, but I would like to
install NMC before then is possible.
I don't think you have to create a local user/group, you can use an
existing one with no privs...

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?
