Is there a way that I can have icecast run as a different user other than root?

This can be done using 'su' and 'chroot' from the command-line/startup script, but being able to specify it in the config is a lot easier/cleaner to me. Let me know if you want to be a tester for it.

Hi All, Hey there is no reason to run icecast as root. So the easy thing is just not run icecast as root. In fact why are you running as root to begin with??
