I am interested in learning how to start up a program (a 3rd party server program, a daemon, whatever) automatically from boot up without using inetd and without using a root uid. I do know that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ (mostly from my ports downloads) will automatically run packages such as ssh and apache, and really anything you put in there. Unfortunately, these things initially run as root, so I'm skeptical about using it. Are there any good, safe, secure ways to automatically start up third party services in really low privileged environments?
