We've been changing it over time (but nothing has happened wrt
privileges in the past couple of releases). Essentially we start up
privileged and pam authenticates us. We do whatever is needed (e.g.
create directories, run rpm) as root, then drop privs for the
build process. Obviously we haven't got it quite right for the
running-as-root case. 

I suspect just adding root to the 'mock' group would take care of this
problem.
