No I didn't set 'userpriv' because make.conf says that it also removes sandbox access violations for users. But now I see the 'usersandbox' which re-enables sandboxing while running with userpriv. Ah ha.

Does anyone think its a waste to add all the sudo stuff and run as regular user? Or just run the app as root?
