It doesn't have to be root. It just has to be under daemon or any other user which can read /etc/nfreenetd.conf and can read and write the contents of the /var/spool/freenet directory (which is not necessarily root). I think that nfreenetd should run under daemon or freenet (yay, yet another item I have to add to /etc/passwd!). Of course, setting up nfreenetd on a system may very well require root access (depends on how the system is configured and how the file system is set up). -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
