Amfnd is hard-coded to run as root:
"src/amf/amfnd/main.cc":
daemonize_as_user("root", argc, argv);
This needs to be removed.
This is with reference to User Query and the patch(attached) was provided by

As of now, it is hard-coded in amfnd to run as root.
Attached are patches on default and 5.0 branch to enable amfnd to start as
non-root.
After installation of OpenSAF, uncomment "#AMFND_NON_ROOT=1" line in amfnd.conf
to enable amfnd to run as a user as mentioned in amfnd.conf.
By default it will run as root.
Thanks
