[Klug-general] Running a process as a different user

Hi,

Debian Sarge box.

I've installed a non-Debian program which runs as a daemon, contolled by 
a script in /etc/init.d

It runs fine, but I would like to run it as a user other than root.

I feel a bit stupid not knowing the answer, but how do I do this?

Regards,

Laurence Southon
