Description Mike McCune 2010-09-08 19:12:11 UTC 
Since pulp-admin is talking pure webservice APIs to the pulp server it shouldn't need to run as root since that is implying that it needs special access to the local machine.

Lets remove the root requirement for pulp-admin.

[preethi@preethi ~]$ pulp-admin
ERROR: must be root to execute

Removed requirement to be root user when running pulp-admin.  When running as non-root user, the client write log messages in ~/.pulp/client.log instead of /var/log/pulp/client.log.  This seemed more appropriate than opening /var/log/pulp to be writeable by all.

Fixed in build 0.78.
