Pull Request (PR) description
This is a narrower version of #796 (@dhoppe)
This does have some security implications, since when the file is owned by root, if the application is compromised, the rabbitmq user still may not be able to modify configuration files; with these changes, it would.
I believe that changing the ownership this way should be safe even on older RabbitMQ versions. However, would appreciate some eyes and / or actual testing of this, as I'm not in a good position to do extensive validations beyond the acceptance tests.
This Pull Request (PR) fixes the following issues
Fixes #703
Closes #796
