Re: Mj2 Installation

Hi Sudhakar,

Thanks very much for the tips. Creating users is no problem, but I'm not up 
on creating groups. Since I'm on a virtual server I'm not even sure if I 
have that option. Can I just use the same group that all of the other users 
on my virtual server are members of, or will that cause a problem?

If it's any help the numeric ID for the group is 100 and I think the group 
name is "vuser".
