<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As you know, INDI's fliccd needs root privileges in
order to work. Now that the fliccd daemon is no longer SUID, I need to update
the manual to inform the user about this condition. The user may grant root
priviliges to the driver manually if she desires so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But granting anything "root" privilges is
considered a security risk AFAIK, so I'm not sure what appropiate warning I
should give the user if any in the manual.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Should I say "The FLICCD driver require root
privilges in order to operate properly. Note that running the driver as root is
considered a security risk." ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this enough?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>
