Use an offset with a non-intercept model?

Yes

dat$ones<-1
glm(y~0+x+offset(ones), data=dat, family=whatever)

I wonder if there could be problems depending on the choice of family.

Only in the sense that if the model fits badly it might run up against the edge 
of the parameter space in some families, which is no different than the 
potential problems with a zero intercept.

I know how to make the intercept 0 in glm, but I actually want to force my intercept to be 1. Is there a way I can do this?
