- From the man page:

BUGS
       On many systems this program should be installed as setuid(root).
This is necessary to lock memory pages. If
       you get no warning message about insecure memory your OS kernel
supports locking without being root.  The
       program drops root privileges as soon as locked memory is
allocated.
