[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Issue #320: give friendly prompt when kimchid fails to run with non-root user

[shaohef at linux.vnet.ibm.com]

From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

If a non-root/non-sudo user tries to run kimchid, it fails with the
verbose stacktrace.

This is not friendly to user.

There should be a check for these cases, allowing kimchid to fail
gracefully.
