Running hamachi as a daemon

I've been trying to set up hamachi running as a daemon. first, I had hamachi initialize a directory:

$ su -c 'hamachi-init -c /etc/hamachi'

currently, I have /etc/rc.d/hamachi:

#!/bin/bash

# general config
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

case "$1" in
    start)
    #check for running tuntap, start when not running
    ck_daemon tuntap && /etc/rc.d/tuntap start

    stat_busy "Starting hamachi"
    hamachi -c /etc/hamachi start > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
    else
        add_daemon hamachi
        stat_done
    fi 
        ;;
    stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping hamachi"
    hamachi -c /etc/hamachi stop > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
        stat_fail
    else
        rm_daemon hamachi
        stat_done
    fi
    ;;
    restart)
        $0 stop
    sleep 1
        $0 start
        ;;
    *)
        echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    ;;
esac
exit 0

and that works fine. however, i also would like to have a hamachi group so that way i dont have to be root to list the people connected to my network. i already added group 'hamachi' and added my username to that group. not really sure where to go from here. any unix permission gurus out there got any ideas?
