I just realized that my bb processes are running as root even though I
started it as bb. I logged in as bb and start the bb processes and they
are running as root. Check this out

root  7564     1  0 10:07:25 ttyp1    0:00 /opt/bbro/bbc1.9e-btf/bin/bbrun -a /opt/bbro/bbc1.9e-btf/ext/bb-cpuinfo.sh
root  7567     1  0 10:07:25 ttyp1    0:00 /opt/bbro/bbc1.9e-btf/bin/bbrun -a /opt/bbro/bbc1.9e-btf/bin/bb-local.sh

Like I said I logged in as bb and then started the runbb.sh 

Any suggestion where to look for an anomaly
