You should be able to use ovs-vsctl commands as non-root users on a vswitch started as a non-root user. For example you can look at how any of the unit test cases are executed in ovs/tests/ofproto.at.
For example, you can run one of the test cases as, $ cd $ovs_src_dir $ make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k "ofproto - echo request"' *Vasu Dasari* On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 3:49 AM wangyunjian <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all: > I have a question to consult: I see that OVS daemon has > been supported to run as non-root in 2015 with the patch > "lib/daemon: support --user option for all OVS daemon", > I would like to know whether the openvswitch command line > such as ovs-vsctl/ovs-appctl will be called as non-root > in any plan, and is there any consideration for calling > as root at present? > > Thanks > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev > _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
