I'm working on the port of a background process that runs
as root, currently.  It doesn't need to run as root, but
it does need to store and access a configuration file
that contains a password.

Should the port install a user id and run as that user or
should the port run as root?  Or as "nobody"?  HELP! 
Thanks.
