You can set services to start in /etc/rc.conf as root ans just have them running (with provided parameters). You can run your own network services on non-restricted ports (above 1024) as standard user. You can also use sudo to perform root actions as standard user. In general Unix always separates root (administrator tasks) from users (non administrative tasks). This is why "gaining root" as standard/restricted user is always the most interesting part ;-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
