Andreas, We have experience doing display building (DM) in Solaris with normal user accounts. The only things that needs to be changed or verified are the actual file permissions. We handle this by setting the display files as writable by owner and group and set the appropriate user IDs in that group. The only real problem is that some 'Foxboro' operations are not cognizant of file permissions and the file permissions sometimes have to be reset. Otherwise it works fine.
