That wasn't what I meant. Of course you need privileges to install. If
the Network Provider is being run as a service you should consider what
privileges it really needs to run. For example I install both BIND and
NTP to run under accounts with very limited privileges, 1 in the case of
BIND and 2 for NTP.
