#254 closed enhancement (fixed)

Description

it'd be great for starting the server on system start and such (read: starting it as root) and if bitlbee could then drop root privs, changing to a specified user and group.

If no one else gets to it, I may submit a patch sooner or later.

A quick and dirty patch to drop root privs. Needs some polish to make it shinier.

Good idea. Of course the non-forking daemon mode should do this too.
