[Zope] startup at boot - what user to run zope as

[Andy Heath]

Hi,
  bit of a zope newbie.

running on a unix box.  I'd like a zope server to
startup automatically at boot (so auto-reboot after
power failure works ok).

Question is - what user should I run zope as - is
it safe to run as root?  If not, then how can
I start it as some other user without giving
write permission the the zope/var directory
for the pid.  Should it be owned by and running
as nobody:nogroup?

I have complete control of the box so any workable
solution possible.

Andy
