 Having run Asterisk on Linux in the past, it is considered a security best
 practice to not run services under the root account.  Unless there is a
 specific reason that the startup and post-configuration portions of this
 port are configured that way, I think it'd be wise to at least make it an
 option (variant?) to create a service account to own all the configuration
 files, data, and the running process.

 I'd be willing to make the effort and submit the change, but it'd be my
 first contribution to this community, so I'd probably need someone to
 "check my work".
