 Okay, thanks.  I've read the complete context of this comment, and it
 still doesn't seem to inevitably require tweaking the bind10 process
 so it will complain about running as a non root.  I tend to agree with
 Michal on his comment at:
 http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/2447?replyto=10#comment:2
 At least architecturally, the problem didn't happen in the bind10
 process, but primarily in sockcreator and, as a result, in b10-auth.
 Tweaking bind10 for a problem of something else seems to be too ad
 hoc.
