Hi!
> I want to run a daemon process when my Red Hat machine starts up. I
know how to use scripts in /etc/rc.d/ to accomplish this, but I have two
questions:

Any file in /etc/rc.d/init.d is a great template. Don't forget to make
symlinks in rcN.d dirs...
> 2) How do I get the daemon to run as a user other than root? (I.e.,
how can I write an automated command that runs a program as another user?)
in script run it as:
su username_to_run_as -c "daemon with args"
I hope this will help you...
