HD Install :: What user starts things during the boot_local

I have recently installed DSL to my hdd, and I also installed the vncserver. I was trying to start the vncserver when DSL booted up, and added a line to the boot_local to start vncserver. I run into a problem when dsl boots, the vncserver doesn't startup, it says I need to run vncpasswd to create a password, which I have tried both with the user DSL, and as root. I was wondering who DSL thinks is executing the boot_local script so I can run vncpasswd with that user.

Never mind, I found a better solution, I have SSHd running on boot. I login through SSH, start the vncserver, and then tunnel my vnc connection through SSH.

just to partially answer your question, bootlocal is run by root.
Everything in the linux boot process is run by root.

that's what i thought, but for some reason, vncserver isn't seeing the password I set as root. But like I said, I found a better, more secure way to run vncserver, and this way it isn't running all the time.
