Running Kerberos as a different user than root

Hi,

We've been running Kerberos for a number of years.  We've always run
all the processes (including kprop, kadmin, etc) as root.  A new group
has taken over running these machines and don't want to give the
Kerberos support people root access.  I've looked around but I can't
find out if Kerberos can run as a non-root user.

thanks,
ds
