Solution: install /var/log/prayer with group-owner "nogroup"

The idea is that nobody and nogroup should be completely unprivileged, and
hence should not own _anything_. Many log files belong to group adm.

This is ok, if you change the config
prayer_group          = "adm"
it will run.

check_directory_perms is probably a bit too picky as it doesn't even accept
group root. I probably should just arrange for a group prayer to be created
and the directories assigned to it, and if you want to set
check_directory_perms=TRUE you should probably do that too for now.

For me this seems to be the best solution.
having
addgroup --system prayer
chgrp prayer -R /var/log/prayer
chgrp prayer -R /var/run/prayer
and prayer_group          = "prayer"

runs without error.

However, each solution (group adm or prayer) should ensure that prayer will start up with the standard configuration out of the package and check_directory_perms=TRUE.
