Hi,

I would also like the possibility to run as non-root. But i'm affaid that as 
long as Linux applications need root permission to listen on any network port 
below 1024, this is not going to happen.

Your alternative's are:
* use the -a :2048 flag to specify a higher port number to listen on.
* use the -u username option to run as a different user (at least for user 
commands and file handling)

I recently choose the latter option and it gave me the warm fuzzy feeling any 
security conscious admin likes.
