Hey Bdale,

Was just going through the process running as root on a machine that
experienced an OOM event.  I'm now done to a few core daemons and eggsh;
which I don't know if it was the culprit which caused OOM, it would be
nice if it ran as the user 'nobody'.

>From what I can see it only wants access to the serial port, so if you
made it setgid dialout and started it up as nobody it should still work.

Not quite sure how to integrate starting up as nobody with the usage of
openvt (btw, it should probably be the full path used and be 'test -x' rather
than just existance of the file; imagine the admin removing all execute
perms for the daemon ... and it starting up anyway).

Cheers,
Anand
