In looking at the safe_asterisk script, it would appear that it is encouraging the running of the Asterisk application as root user. My natural inclination is to run it as a non-privileged user.

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.
