I have a user pool of, er, two. ;-)

No. Either I was lucky - or rpm took care of it. I have, however, seen
RPMs/programs that needed patches to be buildable as non-root. One
example was mutt, as it tries to install a program as group "mail".
The "chown" in the Makefile will fail, of course, hence a patch was
needed. I then told rpm to set the proper UID/GID on that program upon
installation of the RPM.

Cheerio,

Thomas
