indeed a problem. As quick fix you could use sudo and allow www-data to access
batmand.

That is why batman checks the user id ...

The question is: Do we really want that ? I understand your case but your
solutions implies that other non-privileged could access the daemon.
The "batmand -c" command can do much more than giving you the debug output as
changing the gateway_class / routing_class / preferred gateway and may be
more in the future.

Marek
