asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Can asterisk be run as non root anymore?

safe_asterisk used to work fine but with v1.0.3 I am getting all kinds of 
permission errors, intermittant failures, etc. Even with file permissions 
relaxed and ownership set to asterisk it craps out. Seems to work fine 
when run as root. Comments???

Andrew,

	I'm not having problems with it here.  Try this script (copied from wiki):

Kiristan, thanks for the reply. Are you running the v1.0.3? I had 
alread tried setting the perms according to the wiki but it did not help. 
This problem started for me after the 1.0 release. I've searched for the 
answer to no avail.

Regards,
