Is there any reason you can't specify the user instead of root in the cron file?

Hi,
I'm trying to package a cron file after reading [1], but I am wondering what the best approach is to run a cronjob not as root while still using the /etc/cron.daily folder.
Using /etc/cron.d would be an option, as that allows to run jobs as different user, but maybe this is not the nicest...
I could use "sudo" in the shell script, but this feels ugly as well. Any thoughts?
Cheers, François
