[Asterisk-Users] Running asterisk as non-root: Zaptel Permission Probs

As a security precaution, we run asterisk as non-root. When zaptel /dev/
devices are created, they get owned:groupd as root:root with rw-r--r--
permissions.

As such, chan_zap is unable to work due to bad permissions. Is it safe to
simply change permissions on all /dev/zap/* stuff to rw-rw-rw ?  Is there a
better/safer alternative?

Thanks,
Matthew
