First off, is this the right list to ask basic questions about packaging? I'm trying to package a small daemon that provdies a ZMQ remote execution facility for R. The code is here: https://github.com/armstrtw/deathstar.core I've read the package tutorials several times, but I'm having trouble finding out how to create a new user during the install (I don't want the daemon to run as root). Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Whit
