The attached patch deals with several problems I've found with amavisd on
SuSE 9.0 Linux and FreeBSD 4.8.
Basically it runs everthing under amavisd as %{l_rusr} which (a) eliminates
a starup problem with Net::Server on FreeBSD where it can't change user id
to %{l_rusr}, and (b) fixes a problem with log rotation where the log files
are owned by root so amavisd can't restart.
I can't think of any reason why amavisd needs to start as root given that
it's opening high ports which don't require root access.
