I will probably not *require* that nfreenetd has to be run with any permissions or anything. It will probably have a .nfreenetd directory in the current user's home directory that it will optionally use to store configuration files and datastore files. However, nfreenetd is not meant to be used as a user program started from the command line. -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
