UNIX Remote Agent Enhancement

Non-root users can now call the UNIX Remote Agent.

The enhancement allows the CAM service (the communications layer for C++ Connector Server to the UNIX Remote Agent binary) to run without the permissions of the root or super user. By having fewer permissions, the security of CAM service (which is always running listening for requests) is improved.
