Runs as root if user doesn't exist

[Erek Dyskant]

Hi All,
	If you start Nagios as root, normally it drops down to
the priveledges of you user you specify in nagios.cfg.
	However...If that user doesn't exist, it continues running as
root.
	Maybe a better behavior would be to refuse to start at all?  I'd
rather have it not run at all than run as root without my explicitly
telling it to.
	My two cents.

Regards,
Erek Dyskant
