Subject: Reducing Permissions

Is there a way to programtically reduce permissions that doesn't involve 
   `su -l #{config.name}`? I need the server started as root so that it 
can do a chroot, but then I don't want it executing as root, but as a 
special user created for the purpose. Also, I'm hoping that there is 
something already done that's cross-platform(ish).

Any ideas? Thanks!

Jon
