Because in order to be uvadm on *nix based systems, you must be root. In

uvadm doesn't need root priviledges, but AFAIK you have to specify that
you're going to use uvadm as the admin user rather than root during the
UV installation process. This is necessary to set file permissions
correctly. This is my uvadm entry in /etc/passwd on RH AS 3:
uvadm:x:501:501::/home/uvadm:/bin/bash
The list_readu binary is still owned by root, but suid is set:
-rwsr-x--x 1 root bin 1285180 Jul 26 2004 list_readu
I didn't do this myself so it must have been done during the initial
install. Almost everything else is owned by uvadm though, so I'd
venture to guess that if you've already specified root as admin during
install, the only safe way to switch to uvadm is to reinstall.
