Issue
SDNEWDB: Create a new database for the Primary 5.0 ACE/Server UNIX
Cannot edit the default ACE/Server administrator.  
Resolution
1. Run sdnewdb, and select all, server or log as desired, when prompted. Steps  
   two and three are not necessary if only log is selected.
2. Run 'sdsetup -repmgmt add', and add the primary ACE/Server as the first
   replica.
3. Run 'sdcreadm root' or the current administrator's UserID. The current user will
   be added as the Realm Administrator for the ACE/Server.

Performing step 3 prior to step 2 results in a malformed database. The first symptom will be that attempting to edit the default administrator will result in the administration program putting you into add user mode. The default administrator will be un-editable. Further complications should be expected, but specifics of further symptoms are not currently known.
