Re: [foxboro] DM callup without root permissions

Only with a lot of work:

1) Setting the set-uid bit on executables and
2) Changing directory access permissions.

It can be done, but it is a pain. In addition, you'd want to script it
because each update will undo it.


This is on my list.

Hi,

is there a way to callup a remote Display Manager or Foxview window with
the option to run ICC or SysMgmt without root permissions?

Greetings,
