Yes, although not as root but as an unprivileged, special user. I’m not that crazy…
By the way, this is how MLDonkey is used in every distro I’ve seen. I don’t know why OpenSUSE doesn’t provide the init.d script for doing it that way, but that’s really a whole different debate in which I’m not interested at all right now…
Anyway, what I need is precisely avoid preload daemon to precharge the big, temporary download files that MLDonkey opens at its startup.
