How about a combo newsgroup/mailing list.

How does one get daemons to run as a user other than root?
I tried using:
su username -c invoke daemon
but it doesn't seem to work. Are the daemons supposed to change their own
privilege level?
One problem is that the system I'm actually trying to fix is running IRIX, not
linux. But there's

It depends on what service you are trying to run.
I tried using:
su username -c invoke daemon
This could work if the daemon is not binding to a privileged port.

That should work on linux, though check to make sure IRIX implements -c.

Actually I second that motion.my wish is a way to start a program during
boot (daemon) but run as a dedicated user (kinda like nobody) so that I can
limit possible damage. chroot comes to mind, but how to I get the program
as a different user?

the mirrors get moved? I don't think so because the website points to the

In this particular case, sshd. But what if I just wanted to run some arbitrary

Maybe:
su - nobody

or
