If you post a URL to your box I'm sure someone can show you why it's a VERY,
VERY bad idea to run CF as root. 'Course, I'm equally sure that you wouldn't
like the results.
Running CF as root breaks one of the cardinal rules of system security.
Always assign the *minimum* level of permissions necessary to perform the
required task.

why dont you have your CF running as root? Do you not have root password?
We run CF ENT 4.5.1 SP1 and it runs fine w/perms as root.
=) You're messing with fire if you have it running as none root becuase its
easy to miss something
and nothing will work because you have to fix perms
