[omniORB] Running omniNames as a non-priviledged user?

[Anthony Schlemmer]

The original "omniNames" script I found included with 4.0.3 didn't do 
anything special here. On a RedHat ES 2.1 system I modified the script 
so it runs "su -c ..." to startup omniNames so its owned by a 
non-priviledged user. On a SuSE 9.0 system I was able to use the 
fancier "startproc" program which allows me to specify both a user and 
group to run the process under.

Thanks,

Tony
