The standard username is mongod if you install from an RPM, at least
according to the spec file at
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/rpm/mongo.spec
which includes:
%pre server
if ! /usr/bin/id -g mongod &>/dev/null; then
/usr/sbin/groupadd -r mongod
fi
if ! /usr/bin/id mongod &>/dev/null; then
/usr/sbin/useradd -M -r -g mongod -d /var/lib/mongo -s /bin/false -c mongod mongod > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
It appears to want to put the log file at /var/log/mongo/mongod.log
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/log/mongo
touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/log/mongo/mongod.log
