This is not Cygwin specific issue (i.e. it is off-topic). You don't need to be root to run daemons, not on Cygwin and not on UNIX/Linux. There are some restriction on UNIX/Linux (e.g. use of privileged ports) which may cause you to run these daemons as root. There may be reasons to run programs with administrator privileges on M$Windows, but it is not the same as being root on UNIX.
