Thanks for the tip. I just noticed that the permissions 'came undone' if I did a DAHDI reload, so it seemed like the right place. For the record, I'm also using SNMP with asterisk, also as non-root, and I'm also having a problem with /var/lib/masterx or whatever also reverting to being owned by root. And again, my presumptive fix is to put the chown directly into the SNMP script.
