IBM Lotus Domino ® Server, Release 6.5.3, September 14, 2004; system: Debian (sarge/stable) GNU/linux, kernel 2.4.x

• create new user/usergroup for domino server
• chown all domino stuff to this user/group
• run all domino proccesses as this user/group

For these versions it is not sufficient to just link libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 to the existing version, you have to install the correct version which is included in the package libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1. Because packages.debian.org has been taken offline you can download it here
