Ensure rc.d scripts are run as root
By default all script should be run as root. If NEED_ROOT=0 is set before loading /etc/rc.d/functions in a rc.d scripts, this will not apply. This allow script with only some part which require root level to call need_root() function at beginning of those parts. Close FS#24095 Signed-off-by: Sebastien Luttringer <seblu@seblu.net>
