jsvc should be runnable as non root.

Key: DAEMON-93
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-93
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Improvement
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Simone Piunno
On Linux jsvc only works as root.
Despite the discussion on issue 24, loading the kernel capability module
doens't help.

in the errfile I get:

14/01/2007 00:42:58 31709 jsvc.exec error: set_caps(CAPS) failed
14/01/2007 00:42:58 31708 jsvc.exec error: Service exit with a return value of 4
I've been told documentation says:
"Jsvc is a daemon process so it should be started as root and the -user
parameter allows to downgrade to an unprivilegded user."
but I see no reason why jsvc or any other daemon process shouldn't be runnable
as non root therefore I'm creating this issue as a request for improvement.

I'm attaching a patch.
