You always run scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d as root -- they're for
systemwide control.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange eventually calls /usr/sbin/interchange. That
can be run as either root or interch. It just does 'su interch' first if
you're root.
The best thing to do if you're using the Interchange RPM is just what Mike
said:
/usr/sbin/interchange -r
And in the more recent Interchange RPMs this also shows you the startup
messages, whereas the /etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange script suppresses them.
