Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and I've compiled PHP 5.5 with FPM from sources.
I do indeed get something like this:
[24-Jun-2013 18:09:32] ERROR: [pool default] please specify user and group other than root
[24-Jun-2013 18:09:32] ERROR: FPM initialization failed

but I don't think it is a bad thing.
Running PHP with root as user would be considered a major security issue so maybe it's not
really a bug.

Can you provide a real use case where you'd want to allow a script executed via FPM to have
root privileges as I can't think of a good one right now?


Thanks.

Description:
------------
Php5-fpm rejected to run with user 'root' and group 'root', it fails to load.

While proccess priority was implemented, i assume, running PHP-fpm with user 
'root' should be allowed.

Test script:
---------------
Put in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

user = root

Expected result:
----------------
Success run.

Actual result:
--------------
Fail to run.
