what user executes init on boot?

I have a command in init that trys to start a daemon and open a log, but a get an error error that the file access permissions do not allow the specified action. My permissions on the log file are:

Code:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system         4434 Mar 22 15:13 dsmerror.log

The logfile is written to by the main application during processing, but on bootup the daemon fails to open.

So my question is on bootup is init run by the root user?
