Subject: Anacron doesn't support execution as a different user

Package: anacron
Version: 1.0.2-1

It would be handy if anacron supported execution of the jobs it
manages as an arbitrary user, as cron does in the system crontab. 
This would make it easier for me to manage my personal news server. 

Tony.
