#1082: log file isn't created when running bind10 with -u

 If I started BIND10 with '-u bind' with logging configuration for
 dumping logs to file:
 {{{
 Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/destination        "file"  string
 Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/output
 "/home/jinmei/opt/var/log/bind10.log"   string
 Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/flush      false   boolean (default)
 Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/maxsize    100000  integer
 Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/maxver     5       integer
 }}}

 The file was not created and I saw this message from liblog4cplus:
 {{{
 log4cplus:ERROR Unable to open file: /home/jinmei/opt/var/log/bind10.log
 }}}
 (seeing this is bad IMO, but it's a separate issue.  See #1081).

 Even though the directory is writable for the user of "bind":
 {{{
 drwxrwxr-x  2 jinmei  bind  512 Jun 29 15:01 /home/jinmei/opt/var/log
 }}}

 If I started BIND 10 without -u bind 10 and with root permission, it
 created
 the bind10.log file.  If I then changed the owner of the file to "bind",
 this file is updated with new logs.

 These are very strange and inconvenient.
