I spent some time with this today. It's not clear to me that I'm
exercising all parts of just this daemon, and I'm concerned about
the other SAM-QFS daemons spawned by this one and the number of
different team members who have to be involved to ensure we cover
all paths. If it is necessary to muzzle SAM-QFS daemons then I'd
prefer that we address this in a different case.
So, yes, we'd prefer to run as uid==0 and privs=all.
It seems to me that this concern would best be handled by filing a bug
report (if necessary, and then fixing the bug).
