Dear List,
I too had the dreaded root only running problem. I'm
not sure if this current problem is related to mine,
but I was able to fix it by ensuring that the
directory /tmp/orbit-<username> and all files under
where owned by <username>. Somehow the /tmp/orbit-
<username> on my system was owned by root. I'm not sure
how. All I did was chmod -R
username.username /tmp/orbit-username
It goes without saying that you substitute username for
the non-privileged user that you want to run as.
Regards, Grant
