Cool.

I don't understand -- who owns the installed files is determined by who
runs make install. I'd normally hope that everything is installed as
root. How does that prevent you from running bro non-root?
If you want to do packet capture you'll likely be running it as root
anyway, if you want to process traces you don't need root, and if you
want to run a Bro-Bro communications node you can use high ports to
avoid root.
I can't comment on your point 3.

Many things aren't quite right with the documentation. :)
Cheers,
Christian.
