At least for Redhat based systems (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL) this should be
ok. I'm not sure if the daemon function (a shell function from the RC
environment) is generally available for different distribution.
Therefore "daemon" is not that "generic" someone might expect. For a
generic script a special "functionality" should be placed better into
the application (-u from milter-greylist) instead to rely on --user for
every "daemon"-function implemention ...
