Subject: Unix daemon conventions

There might be better grouop, however I  just finished writing a ruby 
daemon script. The script, if called with uid==0, walks through all 
useres homes. It tries to open a file each user and work according to 
it's content.  Rather like fetchmail.
It works.
Now what's wrong:

I reduced the search on Uids 0 and >=500. Is this good/OK ?
I do a test on the existence of a directory -- must be good.
For UID==0 I work the same as a normal user. I look for a ".file" in 
root's home. Shall I better loock at /etc/file, or even both?
