Yes.

A configuration option hs been commented out for this, because some think 
that opening the log file for writing is too late after reading 
configuration file.

I think logging to stderr is good enough until the config file is parsed 
and then log to the file.

But even after that is fixed, you will find at least a few more places 
where root is required. (See the archives.)
