Yes, fairly easy.

A quick question.
The normal way (on a FreeIPA system) that named is executed is with "-u 
named".
When I want to run rr, I get:

# rr record /usr/sbin/named -n1 -g -u named -c /etc/named.conf -E pkcs11
...
src/preload/syscallbuf.c:630: Fatal error: Failed to perf_event_open

Is that perhaps because I have "-u named"?
If yes, how safe is it to run named as "root". I mean, is it going to write
files as "root" that I then need to chown later?
