>Description:
jabber-pymsn-transport.sh doesn't default execution of the transport to the "jabber" user.
This is a potential security hazard as the transport can execute as root.
>How-To-Repeat:
Execute "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/jabber-pymsn-transport.sh start" as root
>Fix:
Add ': ${jabber_pymsn_user="jabber"}" to the startup script
NOTE: The port, incorrectly, sets permissions of 0700 on directories under /usr/local/lib/jabber/pymsn/
      This effectively prevents running the transport as a non-root user and needs to be fixed before the
      port can be made more secure.
