if you use the command line switch "-k" it will drop all privileges except
ReadAll.
Don't know what packages/setup you're using but in Fedora/RHEL packages
there's a sample config available in the configuration files and the binary
is linked to libpcap:
$ ldd /usr/sbin/bacula-fd | grep cap
libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x0000003a56400000)
In this case you have to tinker a bit with SELinux as well.
