Summary:                    runasuser/runasgroup used even for -r means
reconnecting users must be root
Description: 
When runasuser/runasgroup are configured in asterisk.conf, they are used
whenever Asterisk is started, including when reconnecting to a running
instance. This means that it's not possible to just use filesystem
permissions on asterisk.ctl to restrict access, since without being root
the setuid/setgid calls will fail.

Wrapping the setuid block in main/asterisk.c with "if(!ast_opt_remote) {
... }" would makes things easier.
