Comment 4 for bug 435484

It is run as a non-root user. That's how we found this bug. On our production systems we on occasion give people access to certain role accounts, but don't want them to have root access. This includes the ability to start and stop services associated with said role accounts. In particular some members of our team have access to the COUCHDB_USER account and couldn't restart the service despite the fact they were operating as the process owner.
