Hello,

I'm wondering how much of userspace ovs can be run not being root. I've done
the following:


mkdir -p  ~/etc/openvswitch
ovsdb-tool create ~/etc/openvswitch/conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema

ovsdb-server ~/etc/openvswitch/conf.db \
                      --remote=punix:~/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
\
                      --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options \
                      --private-key=db:SSL,private_key \
                      --certificate=db:SSL,certificate \
                      --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert \
                      --pidfile --detach


Though when I start ovsdb-server i get the following error:

Apr 04
16:18:28|00001|daemon|ERR|/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid.tmp2241:
create failed: Permission denied

Is that string hard coded in OVS ?

Thanks,

Aaron
