This is only possible if you are running Pd as root, which is general

Matju can comment better, but AFAIR in my tests his external also
worked with a setuid root Pd started as a normal user.

My mail was about specifically setuid root Pd started as a normal user, and then re-gaining root priviledges after the pd startup procedure abandons them.

I don't know how anyone can understand anything else from that mail.
