I'd never run a server app as root. It is just asking for trouble IMHO. When I built asterisk on my little custom linux server I documented the process of setting up as a non-privileged process here. Most of the information originally came from the voip-info.org site: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2007/10/30/untangle-asterisk-pbx-and-file-server-all-in-one-part-7/ Hope this helps.
