Thank you, that's a very good idea.=20
On the other hand I wanted to learn a little about writing rc-scripts.

On the one hand, there's not really a problem with that: The program is=20
not doing anything that might be harmful to the system, and I am the=20
only user. Incoming connections are allowed from my desktop machine=20
exclusively. So I am not worried about security issues here.
On the other hand, running the program as a non-privileged user is more=20
elegant. ;-) So I would like to do this, too.=20
But I think this can be done via rc-scripts, too - pgsql does it, for=20
example. But I don't know how to do this.
I set the control-script to suid already, I added a line=20
goldbach_user=3D"krylon"
to /etc/rc.d/goldbach, but it did not work. (I found a similar line in=20
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/pgsgql).
Any hints? =3D)

Thank you very much,

Benjamin
