After bootup I want to start a series of network daemons. I'd like to start them from rc.local, but I don't want this stuff running as root. What is the standard BSD (if there is one) way to do this sort of thing? I thought about using inetd, but this software was not designed for that kind of use. It may work - I'm trying it now.
