Did you do the install with the rpm or tar file? If you used the rpm it sets up the user and
group automatically. Since you are using RH (which I am sending this message from :)  ) I
suggest blowing away what you have installed and downloading the correct rpm file. Then doing
a simple rpm -ivh name of file. Now start the server with /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchnage start
Let me know how it works out :) I run RH 6.2 and 7 and have IC 4.5.6, IC 4.5.8, MV 3.14
installed and all runs just fine.
