Hello FreeBSD!

I recently began playing with the concept of starting a daemon at startup
(from what I gather, I should put the initialization commands into
rc.local), but the tough part is that I need this program run in a non-root
environment (ie- not as root!).  Is there a good way to do this?  Please
respond to my email address (not the list), because I am not subscribed yet.

Thank you,


Alan Gerber
