Are there any plans to incorporate the running of Asterisk as a non-root user into the current CVS? There is nothing in Asterisk that requires root access as far as I know and this would solve the vmail.cgi script permissions problem.
Here's a reason why it might need to run as root: bash# ls -l /dev/zap/ctl crw-r--r-- 1 root root 196, 0 Oct 6 13:15 /dev/zap/ctl
We need to open some ports for listening as root, but after that we can change user ID the way other daemons do.
Tilghman, can we handle this ctl device as another user after we opened it?
I agree that it would be good to have Asterisk running with another user ID.
