Most plugins/worlds create files with ROOT as owner on Linux

    Well, that is quite a big problem since FTP file editting is almost impossible.
    and most file copies are hard to pull off.

    and the server always needs to be running on root, which is a problem if a rogue plug-in comes along

    Mainly because some needed files can not be loaded.

    But I am confused... why does bukkit lock it's files?
    The system does not depend on Bukkit and requiring root is just plain stupid.

    File protection is fun for system files.
    not for a game server

    Then the system is not properly configured. You should never allow the server to run as root.

    It's setting owner as root because you ran it as root.

    Well, that makes sense.
    I've CHOWN'd it to my user though
    and the problem randomly solved itself
