["Jon Stewart" <stew1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a script that I want to run at boot-time. The obvious place on slackware to put it 
is rc.local in /etc/rc.d/, or I could write a separate rc. script for it. (Slackware has 
a simple, BSD-style init system; everything's just a shell script.)

The script will launch a daemon. I want the daemon to run as nobody, not freaking root; 
it doesn't listen to any ports, so this shouldn't be a problem. How do I get root to 
execute the command as a different user?
