Running PCP as non-root

[lemming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   Hello!

   I would like to ask why the PCP script checks whether it it is ran by root. I
need to run PMCD as non-root user (possibly in chrooted environment) for 
security
reasons. I have commented out this check and PMCD seemed to work OK. So is there
any reason why it must be ran as root?

                                                Thanks,
                                                Michal Kara
