suggestion: allow root to open control port #17

Closed yodog closed 8 years ago

yodog commented 8 years ago

Hello.

About the log message Won't open control port running as root; use -u to run as different user.

I'd like to suggest that root, being a superuser, could also open the control port.

The message is to avoid accidentally overwriting something valuable and to discourage unnecessarily running as root in a production environment. You can however use the -u option and open the control port as root if you really want to:

pen -u root -C ./ctl -U 53 8.8.8.8
