Aftershock has special support for running on Unix and Unix-like systems
such as Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOS X.  Specifically, Aftershock may be set up
to start it's listener running, and then switch to another user.  This may be
useful in cases in which you wish to have Aftershock bind to the standard
Gopher port (70), but not to have Aftershock run with root privliges. To
enable this feature, set the UserName setting in the configuration file to
the appropriate user.  Then, compile the support library by unzipping the
src.jarle that came with the Aftershock distribution, and running 
"make install" in the src/jni directory.  If all goes well, the next time
you start Aftershock, user switching should work.
