This is impossibel.
the vdr-binary must have change-uid set
ls -l vdr
-rwx......
^ If here is an "s" then the programs runs with the privileges of the owner of the binary. Seems to be root.
Cure:
chmod 755 vdr

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
