At the planning stage for this, explained in this blog post:

The same could be applied to any pups that run as root.

Anyway, I will report back after implementing it.

First step, got login as user zeus and get to the (somewhat broken) desktop:

...essentially, it was just a matter of editing /etc/inittab, and a new script /sbin/zeuslogin

EasyOS has always assumed running as root, and this expectation is hardcoded into many scripts, so the scripts will be where attention needs to be focused now.
