I'll add that new user to my todo list. But ps aux shows that gnunetd is 
running with root priveleges, so it is unlikely that this is a privelege 
thing. For poops, I made a file accessible only to root, logged in as a 
normal user, and used gnunet-insert to index the content. No problemo, except 
that my total tally of indexed content is still zero.

I could, of course, uninstall GNUnet, wipe /var/lib/GNUnet, have mysql drop 
the gnunet db, and start anew. Advisable?
