[Asterisk-Users] File permissions and ownership

I'm generating an RPM of 1.0.7 and noting that most of the files are
created world-readable. Is this reasonable? Or should the config/spool/log
files only be readable by root?

Must asterisk run as root? If so, what capabilities are required? In
principle one could change the capabilities list and then drop to a mortal
EUID.
