--------------------------------------------------------
The issue is in `Diags::set_std {out,err} _output()` because we
indiscriminately call `ElevateAccess()`. There are a few issues preventing us
from an "easy" fix. We need root access for the whole function because there's
a bunch of `BaseLogFile` logic that assumes we have access to the log files we
want. The best way (in my opinion) would be to make a function in `ink_cap.cc`
that can check to see if we are able to elevate to root. We could then just use
that function to decide if we want to call `ElevateAccess` at all.
I'm not sure how to implement that feature and I probably won't be able to get
around to this again for a few weeks.
