    How to start a zabbix_server on FreeBSD 6.1?

    I Carry out
    Code:
    #/usr/local/bin/zabbix_server -c //usr/local/etc/zabbix/server.conf
    I receive
    Code:
    User zabbix does not exist
    Can not run as root!
    In the documentation on installation it is not told anywhere (http://www.zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/install_server.php ), that it is necessary to create the user zabbix.

    Are your kidding ?

    This is the first step of the documentation.
    # 1. Create the ZABBIX superuser account

    This is the user the server will run as. For production use you should create a dedicated unprivileged account ('zabbix' is commonly used). Running ZABBIX as 'root','bin', or any other account with special rights is a security risk. Do not do it!

    Note: ZABBIX server process (zabbix_server) is protected from being run under root account.
