command launched by normal user...
I need, every time machine boots up, that "startx" and "x11vnc -forever -display :0" commands automatically starts by "rc.local file" but not with root privilege: with user "xxx" privilege ...how can I do this?

Until the user has authenticated, how can the system know which user account is to be used? Is it always the same?

If you know what user account it needs to be run as, or have a special user for running it:
/etc/rc.local -> su username -c /path/program args You can also use su to use a specific login class with su's -c switch, e.g. su -c loginclass username -c /path/prog args every thing after username is passed to the shell, the man page is useful.
