Description Kevin Bryan 2006-12-12 06:27:54 UTC 
When running motion via "/etc/init.d/motion start", the motion process starts as root, which is unnecessary for it's functioning.  Can the ebuild create a motion user, or anyways have an /etc/conf.d/motion to set a user?

3.2.9 will run as motion user by default
