It's a daemon, root can run it, you can fire it up at run time,by adding it to rc.d.
Since root ran it you can store the DB settings in a file only root can access (you can use another user, it doesn't have to be root).

This is where we came in, isn't it? How's about having a db table of all the permitted scripts and methods to retrieve this data and amend it? -- Brother Frankus.	[reply]
