How to run cactid as different user ?

[schlabschi]

Today I upgraded from cmd.php to cactid.

As I need to run my scripts as a different user (not root or cactiuser), I edited the /etc/cron.d/cacti file to start the poller as a different user. This worked well with the old poller but cactid is starting all scripts as root which is not working for me. It seems to ignore the crontab entry.

How can I configure cactid to run as a different user?

Thanks,
