We're preparing to install the NMC software. This will be installed on the primary backup server. The installation documentation mentions:

"Specify a User/Group with limited privileges that NMC will use to run the web server. This must be a non-root user. For example, Linux operating systems have a default user/group [nobody/nobody] that can be used."

Any recommendations or warnings about this?

Just make up any user/group name combination that doesn't already exist and add to /etc/passwd and group files? What about NIS? Does that matter?

Thanks.
