: After Frank Benkstein's announcement today, i started experimenting

: the daemon restart if it should crash under other similar
: circumstances.
: 
: I discovered that a foregrounded silc server (silcd -F) doesn't
: appropriately drop privileges, even when configured to do so in
: silcd.conf.

This is fine except when debugging in enabled (-d or -D) in which case we 
don't want to drop privileges, at least I don't.
