swapon_checks(): add check st_uid == 0?

["Voelker, Bernhard" <bernhard.voelker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi *,

similar to the check for (st_mode == 0600), why not add a check
for the correct owner (root) to the swapon utility?

swapon.c:
swapon_checks(const char *special)
{
	...
	if (verbose) {
	    if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode)) {
		    if (st.st_uid != 0)
			    warnx(_("%s: insecure file owner %d, 0 (root) suggested."),
				    special, st.st_uid);
		    }
	}
	...
}

Have a nice day,
Berny
