On Debian I accomplished it with the following in the initscript:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $RUNDIR/$PIDFILE \
--chuid $USER:$GROUP --exec $DAEMON
Not sure if RedHat includes a start-stop-daemon executable or some
semblance thereof. If you have any daemons running non-root from a
SysV initscript then read through said script and see if you can
pick out where it's running the process as that user and mimic it.
Or you could probably hack something with 'su -c"$DAEMON" $USER' I
would think...
