Yeah, it has been; we were running it as 'openflow' before that change,
and have been modifying the init.d file after installing. :^/ It'd be

Sure, but that might just be a quick chown.

No worries. We can also talk more about it off-list, since most
openflow-discuss people may not be all that interested in this level of
