Erick, the logs have been owned by user=privoxy for quite some time.
Before that they were owned by user=junkbuster. The daemon also has
run as user=privoxy for quite some time. 

Just a theory, that rpm updated some files when going 2.9 -> 3.0 for
some reason that were not being updated before. It would be
interesting to see what happened with init script, and config during
the upgrade. config should not be overwritten on an upgrade, but the
init script should. The init script is what starts daemon as
user=privoxy (as you probably know). Curious.

If you think we have a bug here, please try to check some of this out,
and file a bug report on SF.

Hmm....I haven't run it long enough to notice :/ Really, the changes
from 2.9.20 to 3.0.0 are very, very minor. In fact, the init script
and config, and rpm spec file are identical.
