Thanks, Onur, but that didn't work either.  New command I tried was:

cd /home/paul/.seti ; sudo -u paul ./setistack > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

It just sort of waits during boot at the part that says "starting
linuxconf hooks", as when I tried "su -c".  Also, having adapted the
above command from the seti client readme, what's the "2> /dev/null" do
that "> /dev/null" doesn't?
