EWORKSFORME.

There is also already a --disable-privs switch. However, figuring out
what the problem with Quagga and libpcap on Debian might be more
productive. It should work (least it does for me with 2.6 and FC2).

feel stupid now :-)

--disable-capabilities even, in which i guess it falls back to
ruid/euid switching (hasso?)

Quagga has already --disable-capabilities switch for that. Note that
there is still problem - switching ip(v6) forwarding on/off doesn't
work when using capabilities.
