that just jogged my memory, hopefully in a good way :-)

In your current Ubuntu setup, can you actually run the "su" command
from the command line and login as root?  I remember when I first set up
my ubuntu box they had disabled root logins through "su" and expected
"sudo" instead.  I re-enabled root logins like this:

http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html

For what it's worth, if I "su" to root and run /etc/init.d/mmserver
start, it does NOT ask me for a password.  It DOES say "nohup: ignoring
input and appending output to `nohup.out'", though...but it starts the
mmserver just fine.  Trying it as a non-privileged user, however, fails
to start it.
