As discussed during the Dec 29th meeting, and explained in this issue: Alignak-monitoring/alignak#674, alignak shipped configuration files should have correct ownership/permissions for the user alignak


Note that I think we are still ok with this but I wanted to keep tracking 😉

After a small thinking, I think everything under etc should be root ownership. It is this admin job / configuration management job to have the config correct. For logs and run dir yes this hould belong to alignak in my opinion.

Actually it is not really my opinion, I think it is the standard on OS. Counter examples from well known pakcages are welcome.

Root owned dir and files in etc will forbid any other user to update/edit the configuration files ... not sure it is the best idea.
