Can heyefi be run as not-root?

Currently, the service is meant to be run as root, because it has the feature of changing the permissions of the uploaded files to match the uploadDir. I do not want to require the service users to get the folder permissions right, and I also do not want them to have a service running as root (for security reasons) if possible.

If I cannot find a technical way to solve it, I want to run the service as root because that will make it easier to configure. That might make it harder to get the package accepted by package repositories though.

I will investigate how mail programs do something like this to distribute mail messages.
