snort / snortsam run as non-root user?


We’re preparing to install a server with Linux and then load snort and possibly snortsam. Can these be run by non-root users?

My security admin wants to own the OS (e.g. have full root access) because he believes he’ll need it to use these products.

Before anyone says it: I know it sounds funny to say you don’t want the security admin having root – he is more a network person than OS so I want to retain root control to prevent him from damaging the OS accidentally.
