Running CVS Head 10 August on Kernel 2.6 (FC2) as non-root user with no issues. I followed the instructions on the wiki for running as non root. For startup and shutdown I've just copied the digium supplied scripts into /etc/rc.d/init.d and created the appropriate links into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d as appropriate.
