dsrpc process owner

Is this possible to change to run dsrpc process as another user than root?
As owner I mean what 'ps -ef | grep dsrpc' command return.

It's usually started automatically by the init process (user id 1) when the UNIX system is booted. It does need to run with superuser privilege, so that it can authenticate logins. Check out its parent process ID in your ps -ef | grep dsrpcd | grep -v grep report.

Will it change if you start or install the datastage server using a different id (ofcourse having the necessary privilages to install/run it)

Maybe, but I doubt it. It needs to have euid=0 to authenticate logins.
