{bb} Auto-starting bb as non-root user on Slackware linux

["Stephen Bates" <SMBATES@caltex.com.au>]

bb 1.2a is working very well - great system, and thanks to all for the on-going
support.

If anyone knows how to get bb to auto start when the host boots, without being
owned by root, I'd appreciate some help.

Currently I have this in rc.local
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local:  Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local setup commands in here:
#
# start Big Brother
echo "starting Big Brother client..."
#su bb
#cd /home/bb
/home/bb/runbb.sh
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

the "su bb", etc. where my attempt to get bb to start using user "bb", which I
have defined in the system. I can readily start bb manually using the bb
account, so there seems to be nothing wrong there.

regards,   Steve
