[mv] One MV server, multiple users



******    message to minivend-users from Ed LaFrance <edl@newmediaems.com>     ******

Hello all -

This one appears many times in the MV mail list archives, but I did not 
find a real succinct answer, just some suggestions.  Simply put, what is 
the best way to set up one MV install so it can run multiple catalogs, 
owned by different users?  I have tried both the 'mulitple group' and 
'group' installation configurations, which seem like they should work, but 
have not.  The catalogs which are owned by a different user than the owner 
of the MV server never run; either they die at MV startup, or the link file 
returns a 500 error in the browser.  The only error messages I get is in 
former case: "...could not tie to locale.gdbm, permission denied", echoed 
on the command line.  I seems that permissions are preventing the catalog 
from running correctly, but they are set in a way that make sense to me: 
user and group read an write, the link file owned by the MV user.  All 
users are in the same group when running in group mode; when running in 
multiple group mode I put each user in its own group and added that group 
as a secondary for the MV server owner.

In all cases I am using the tarball dist of minivend, using 3.14-6 at this 
point, though I would like to do this with 4.04 and Intechange eventually.

Could anyone who has done this successfully share some details with me?
