   Very stupid method...

   There's another option, which allows running several binkd instances for   
   different users:   
      
   % cat `which fidomailer`   
   #!/bin/sh   
   binkdport=`sed -nre '/^iport /{s,.*\s,,g;p}' < $HOME/fido/etc/binkd.conf`   
   test -z "$binkdport" && binkdport=24554   
   ss -tunl | grep -q :$binkdport || \   
     (binkd -C $HOME/fido/etc/binkd.conf >& /dev/null &) &   
      
   % crontab -l | grep fidomailer   
   */15 * * * *  fidomailer   
      
   And, of course, it doesn't require the root privileges.
