Hello,

I'm trying to run Radium under a non-root user and writing the output  
to a file.

Just before the process get spawned to non-root user, it creates the  
file with root owner and stops. (due to permission denied)

# ls -ld /nsm/argus
drwxr-x---  2 sguil  wheel  512 Jun  7 10:30 /nsm/argus
# ls -l /nsm/argus/test.argus
ls: /nsm/argus/test.argus: No such file or directory
# /usr/local/sbin/radium
Starting radium.
radium[51234]: 10:44:52.796318 started
# ps ax|grep radium | grep -v radium
#
# grep radium /var/log/all.log
Jun  7 10:44:31 nsm-01 radium[51219]: 10:44:31.013046 ArgusInitOutput:  
open /nsm/argus/test.argus: Permission denied
Jun  7 10:44:31 nsm-01 radium[51219]: 10:44:31.012525 started
# ls -l /nsm/argus/test.argus
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Jun  7 10:44 /nsm/argus/test.argus
#

Here is my test radium.conf file:
RADIUM_DAEMON=yes
#
RADIUM_MAR_STATUS_INTERVAL=60
#
RADIUM_ARGUS_SERVER=localhost:5611
RADIUM_ARGUS_SERVER=localhost:5612
#
RADIUM_OUTPUT_FILE=/nsm/argus/test.argus
#
RADIUM_SET_PID=yes
RADIUM_PID_PATH=/var/run/nsm
#
RADIUM_SETUSER_ID="sguil"
RADIUM_SETGROUP_ID="sguil"
