Seems a wise decison.

Multilog is owned by root. 
/var/opt/log/bincimap was also owned by root, but I then chown'd it to nobody, 
as suggested in the Binc README. That's the step I seem to have skipped in 
the first place.

Yes, svscan is owned by root. I think it is invoked from init at boot-time, 
something like this: init --> svscanboot --> scscan --> supervise  

I still cannot fathom the following log entries, though:

To me they seem to indicate some kind of privilege clash, but I don't know 
enough about the Bincimap start-up stub to tell what's up.
