It seems to be the "modern" thing to assume people are running as an unprivileged user but using sudo. It's what most distros encourage these days. It's probably better to go along with it, than to assume that users know when they need to run as root; the users who know what they're doing will also know when to skip typing "sudo". _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
