In order to reconnect to asterisk (asterisk -r), you need root
permissions. So either you have to do it as root (bad), or use sudo to
do it as user asterisk (recommended).
If you use 'sudo -u asterisk' you do not have root permissions.
Also, wouldn't it kind of defeat the whole idea of running as non-root if
you needed root permissions to connect to the console?

Hmm. Surprising. I would have thought you could reconnect to asterisk if
you were the user under which asterisk was running. But ok, will use
sudo.
I'm just a 1.2 Luddite, but...
Aside from read access to the executable, the modules and the
configuration directories, I think the other 'requirements' you may be
running afoul of are read access to the PID and read/write access to the
socket which reside (in CentOS) in /var/run/ and are named asterisk.ctl
and asterisk.pid
