[Linux-HA] /var/lib/heartbeat permission all belong to root

I noticed in my /var/log/messages that heartbeat was having a problem
changing in to the cores/nobody directory:

    heartbeat[4895]: ERROR: Cannot chdir to
[/var/lib/heartbeat/cores/nobody]: Permission denied


Previously I moved my entire /var partition to another drive, copying it as
root (I moved it to a bigger physical partition).  I found some Heartbeat
install code on the web, where it looked like they were setting the
permissions to various values.  For example, the cores/nobody directory was
set to be owned by user "nobody" (while mine is owned by root).

Should I fix this? I thought maybe its not a problem since Heartbeat seems
to be otherwise running.
