[asterisk-users] Run as root?

[gincantalupo]

Hi Malcom,
my advice is to run asterisk as non-privileged user. And do not user 
safe_asterisk script if u can...it cannot check if it running and you 
can have many safe_asterisk running in memory...moreover this fills your 
CLI with a lot of annoying "remote unix connection" messages.
