Add the user account name you want
useradd rosuser
Make sure there is no password so the account can be used on startup
passwd -d rosuser
Set files to be owned by this user. Note that this will need to be done after every update
chown -R rosuser:rosuser /opt/ros chown -R rosuser:rosuser /etc/init.d/rosd
Edit the default service file
vi /etc/init.d/rosd
Change the su command on line 15 to use the required user (rosuser in this case)
su rosuser -c ${_ROS_ROOT}/resources/start
Test that it works by logging in as the user and starting the service. If Gigaflow was already running as root, you will have to stop it first.
su - rosuser /etc/init.d/ros restart
Note that by using a non root account, you will not be able to user ports <1024
