[luau] daemons running as root

[tburns at despammed.com]

How does one get daemons to run as a user other than root?

I tried using:

su <username> -c <invoke daemon>

but it doesn't seem to work. Are the daemons supposed to change their own privilege level?

One problem is that the system I'm actually trying to fix is running IRIX, not linux. But there's usually enough common ground that I can figure out what will work on one from finding out what works on the other. Maybe not in this case.
