There is a chapter about Gentoo initscripts in the handbook including a section about writing your own. start-stop-daemon has support for running a daemon as another user through the --user or --chuid switches. If it isn't a daemon you can also just use `su $user -c $command`. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 -- Bo Andresen
