A couple of things: 

1.  Anything you need to say to me you can say on 9fans.  Helps keep
the story straight.

2. Are you saying that you did not ask:
	a. "Novice question - run as other" (from the subject line)
	b. "... from a shell script and change the user it runs as." (from your message)

If your question was truely about changing to "none" and not some
arbitrary user, then why not say "... - run as none", or "...  from a shell
script and change the user it runs as, to none".

you seem like a smart guy, and i would have no reason to think what you
asked is related to anything other than what you asked about.
