Summary: Using OpenSTAs tools without Admin privs gives poor errors

Initial Comment:
It was never originally intended that OpenSTA be run as
anything as a user with Administration privs - that
being said if it is attempted the errors and symptoms
the tools show are not at all obvious as to what the
problem is.

This bug exists mainly to alert the user to the above
fact and to point to this FAQ entry:
http://portal.opensta.org/faq.php?topic=NonAdminProblems

If you hit new symptoms that are not mentioned in the
above FAQ then please add them to that FAQ and not this
bug request.

The solution of this bug may be: to simply cause the
tools to fail gracefully with good error messages in
this situation, to fix the tools so they can run, or
some conbination of the above.  The direction that is
taken will depend on information gethered through the
FAQ entry and discussed on the OpenSTA-Users mailing list.

Please also reference bug#1199254 which addresses
similar issues attempting to run OpenSTA on WinXP Home
edition.
