Hello,
I know that I should not work as root, but I am too used to it,
so my example is done with the root user.

I am not sure that the network simulator works with another user
for the version you have, but I have checked that for next one, 
a normal user will do as long as the daemon is owned by root and
is suid root.

The daemon has to create taps, open a socket to ping, and configure
an ip address for tap, so it will always have to be suid root even
for a normal user.

The RSA files are copied into the machines at startup so as to be 
able to scp or ssh the machine without any password.

I can garantee that the software does nothing nasty with those files.
