How does one get daemons to run as a user other than root?
I tried using:
su <username> -c <invoke daemon>
That should work on linux, though check to make sure IRIX implements -c.
but it doesn't seem to work. Are the daemons supposed to change their own
privilege level?
Some do, mostly the ones thatneed to be run as root initially (to point to port
less than 1024 for instance). Many do not however.
One problem is that the system I'm actually trying to fix is running IRIX, not
linux. But there's usually enough common ground that I can figure out what will
work on one from finding out what works on the other. Maybe not in this case.
