I think that, at a minimum, ovs-openflowd would have to be able to open AF_PACKET sockets and /dev/net/tun. The former requires the CAP_NET_RAW capability. I don't know much about capabilities, so I can't tell you how to give that to a process without making it root. The latter is, I think, just a matter of file permissions. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
