Hi all.
(is you saw this already - sorry for repeating mail, but previous seems
to be stuck somewhere)
I'm writing a geoclue provider that requires root permissions. In
particular it requires access to wifi driver via wireless tools
(initiate a scan). All is working perfectly when I start client
application with sudo. But obviously I want a regular user to be able to
use this provider without sudoing. How can I achieve this?
What I tried:
- Adding suexec bit to provider binary didn't worked, in this case
client can't communicate with provider at all.
- Adding User=root to dbus service configuration. It seems to ignore
this line for regular services.
- Prelaunching service at boot from root. Then user can connect to
running instance. But this way is not suitable - I don't want my service
to run always, only when it's needed.
Thanks,
Leonid.
