I was sure Vince was correct to start with :-) but I think running weewx
as root is the wrong thing to do.   I run it as a non-root user, and
really there should be a dedicated weewx user that has permissions to do
what it needs (read the serial port, write the db, access credentials
for upload) and no more.

But this is really "how best to configure weewx on operating system X",
which is orthogonal to "how should I made weewx on system X already
configured as Y work".
