Hello there,

Very few programs should run as root, most run as a non-privielged user. 
For this reason we should strive towards making ht://Dig run as a 
non-privileged user if it does not already do it.

At the moment I don't see where htdig needs root privs, so starting 
3.2.0b6 I'll create a separate system user (htdig) all te programs can 
run as

Would also solve
