[Bug 280518] etcupdate: cannot be run as non-root

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280518

--- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
Presumably in this case all the permissions of regular files are also kind of
whacky for said NFS root?  That is, binaries like /bin/ls are owned by a random
user ID and not root:wheel when accessed remotely?  I think in the vast
majority of cases this check is useful and gives a better error than an obscure
permission error later in the process.  We could add a new flag to permit
running as non-root.
