Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1397:
-----------------------------------
@vern: an ordinary user can use "bro", but not necessarily broctl, as that
keeps state information. That's generally ok, I think.
@daniel: would be good if "broctl --help" worked for any user, independent of
being root and who installed it. That shouldn't be difficult, no? Also, for
other commands, could you add a check that makes sure the user running broctl
has the right permissions, and give an corresponding error message otherwise?
