Non-issue on Fedora Core 2 when running from Axel's rpms. The backend runs as 
root, due to the way Red Hat alters device permissons on the fly for logged 
in users. Of course, if you modified the startup script for the backend, you 
would definitely run into problems, unless you 
hacked /etc/security/console.perms to not chown the required device nodes and 
set their owner to the user you're running the backend as.
