root vs CAPS #386

Open hwinkel opened 1 week ago

hwinkel commented 1 week ago

Is there a option to run it with the required CAPS to read infos typically only available for root? or can it run with setuid once?

@hwinkel thanks very much for bringing this to my attention. I'll have a read and see what I can do.
