Package: rwhod
Version: 0.17-8
Severity: minor

The rwhod manpage says 
"If the -u flag is supplied, rwhod will run as the specified user instead of
as root."

When the the -u flag is not given, rwhod drops to user "rwhod" by default
after initialising. Also, even if the -u is given, rwhod still runs as root
until after initialising.
