according to rc.subr(8):

                ${name}_user
                          User to run command as, using chroot(8).  if
                          ${name}_chroot is set, otherwise uses su(1).  Only
                          supported after /usr is mounted.

so in your /etc/rc.conf you could put:

hobbit_enable=YES
hobbit_user="hobbit"


-g

Hello,

I have an application I'd like to startup at boot, however, the script
needs to be started by a non-user account.

If I put the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit.sh

How do I get it to start using the user account 'hobbit'

Thanks
