+- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
+ keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
+ Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
+ the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
+ longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
+ but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
+ use the '-u' option.
