A README.install would be useful:

On a stock RH7.2 system, after a ./configure, make all, and
make install, the /var/run/saftemon and /var/log/saftemon
directories ended up with permissions 0755, user root and group
root. This caused saftemon to die because it couldn't open the
pid file in /var/run/saftemon after setuid(daemon). I changed
the ownership of those directories to daemon and now it seems
to work. (The saftemon startup script did not get installed in
/etc/rc.d/init.d; I don't know if this is intentional.) Nice!
This is all on a PowerEdge 6450.

It also does the right thing on a Tyan SCSI motherboard: "No
SAF-TE devices present"
