yes, might happen, if you do something wrong.

good point, never run domino as root. actually never ever run anything 
that doesnt really need root privileges as root.

Yes, once you start it as root domino changes the ownership of some files 
to root. thus rendering the file readonly for other users, like notes. cwd 
to your domino data directory, do a chown nores * -R to give back notes 
ownership to all files in the directory recursivly. problem should be gone 
by then.
