hi,
when installing kibana5 alpha4 from RPM-Package is is not starting because the group kibana doestn't exist. After "groupadd kibana" and "usermod -g kibana kibana" it's running.
Is this the same issue possibly? https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7475
looks like the same, thanks. btw: i'm using opensuse 13.2 and now i run kibana as user root.
