I'm not sure if this is a configuration problem or a bug, but running
v2.5.4subver1.413, elogd runs as user ROOT (UID0) even though the following
is in the elogd.cfd file:

Usr = nobody
Grp = essadm

All other directives added to the cfg file work, so I know eLog is reading
the cfg file.  

The elogd binary *is not* setuid 0.

Thanks
