However, I've discovered that since the script is running as root,

One way might be to run something as a specific user is to use "su"
see man page for su and open:
su bray -c "open http://kazavoo.com";
Where the username of the person running the installer is bray. You
can use the UID also.
I had thought of that, but su only takes a user name, not a uid.
Is it safe to do su $USER? I was hoping there was a simple way to
just drop back to the real uid (maybe I'm being safety paranoid).
Thanks,
Dave
