I sent already once the SUMMARY but it seems it didn't arrive ....
My original question:
> is it possible to automatically start a daemon after the boot

The answer:
In /etc/rc2.d/ or /etc/rc3.d
put a file called S99whatever. (eg S99LOCAL which is where I put my "site local"
stuff)
This can be normally a soft link to the actual script file (in /etc/init.d/).
S99whatever will have code which looks like this:
su 'user' -c 'command to run'
