Ubuntu running server daemons as root

[Christopher Lemire]

I installed a dedicated Gobby server called sobby. It's running as root.
That's a very bad idea. Please, somebody sudo apt-get install sobby, and
tell me if it runs as root.

chris at lucid:~$ ps -ef | grep sobby
root      1625     1  0 Jun14 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/sobby
chris     5300  8500  0 11:45 pts/3    00:00:00 grep --color=auto sobby
chris at lucid:~$ sudo service sobby restart
[sudo] password for chris:
 * Stopping sobby                                                        [
OK ]
 * Starting sobby                                                        [
OK ]
chris at lucid:~$ ps -ef | grep sobby
root      5339     1  7 11:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/sobby
chris at lucid:~$
