Well, I tried running it as nobody but that had it's own problems. Never got a chance to go back and figure out why. Next week maybe.
I hate it when RPM packages add their own users. I find that really annoying. One day you're looking at your /etc/passwd file and you're wondering what all the danged accounts are for. And it's not like you can do an "rpm -qf" on a line in /etc/passwd to find out why that entry is there.
