Ah, you did a fresh install? Hmmm ... yeah, then it is probably an RPM 
installation order issue and Monitorix got installed before the user and 
group admserv were present. That's ... unpretty. With the OS included 
we're at about 1800-1900 RPMs (if installed off the ISO) and 
dependencies are getting somewhat complicated.

I just published a YUM update for Monitorix that fixes it for good - no 
matter what. An ExecPre in the Systemd Unit file now makes sure that 
permissions and ownerships are corrected whenever Monitorix starts. I 
could throw in some RPM "Requires" to try to enforce a better sort 
order, but as it is we already have some funky circular dependencies and 
I don't want to push them to the point where the install fails due to that.
