In theory, owfs doesn't need root access.
1. The USB or serial port needs to be accessible by the user. This requires
either udev magic (2.6 kernels) or hotplug magic (2.4 kernels).
1a. The DS9490 can't be claimed by the w1 driver -- this may require root
unloading of ds9490r.ko
2. serial ports need to be accessible -- permission on /dev/ttySn
3. loading fuse module for fuse use.
4. owserver can't use a privileged port (<1024), nor can owhttpd use 80 or
owftpd use 22
Even if owserver is run as root, you can insulate it from the outside by
binding it only to local addresses and run another accessible owserver as a
"relay"
