Hi All,

currently this machine (EPIA-M10K) is being used as a standalone box
running Freevo on Gentoo.

I've made it such that /etc/init.d/local will start freevo during
bootup, as in the settings below.

Now, I noticed that it's running as root and I don't quite like that. I
need some pointers on how to get Freevo to auto-downgrade itself to a
normal user. 

Can it be done? I most certainly think it could, only question is, can
someone teach me how?


# no:     don't start Freevo
# yes:    start Freevo on startup. You should only use this when the
#         computer is for Freevo only or you use Freevo with a DXR3
# daemon: start Freevo in daemon mode. The daemon will wait for you to
#         press QUIT or POWER on your remote and will than start
#         Freevo. After Freevo shut down, the daemon will wait again.
#
# You don't need a X server running to start Freevo from init. If
# needed, Freevo will start a X server on its own. Make sure your X
# server can handle the resolution defined in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf

freevo="yes"
