Speaking of SIMH..
SIMH requires root privileges to do its networking (at least on most of
its unix host OS's), understandably, but I'm not happy with it...
So I've hacked up some code changes that'll let me change the UID/GID &
chroot() SIMH is running on from the SIMH console.
I run the Debian packaged version of SIMH, and it runs as a user.
Looking at their configuration might keep you from having to invent
some wheels.

But, do you use the networking portion of SIMH? You can run SIMH or
KLH10 as a user, IF, you don't try to use Ethernet.
