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

[tickets] [opensaf:tickets] #3205 amf: remove hard-coding in amfnd
Hi Thang,
1. This is the option/flexibility being provided, not breaking anything. It is
by default off.
2. As you can see in the tickt description, the requirement was reported in the
user's list, so it looks real use case. This helps in increasing OpenSAF'
adaptation across the globe.
3. Many users doesn't use Smf and they start from 5.20.05 onwards, needn't
worry about a release 4.2, which was released 6 or 7 years back. So, no
backward compatibility issue, agree ??
Please suggest.
Thanks
-Nagendra

Hi,
I assume it is invalid ticket. As in README smfnd and amfnd were designed to
run as root and amfnd run as root to backward compatible.
