The majority said that it is possible thru sudo and some
suggested setuid'ing. But the consensus is that it IS A BAD
idea, given the fact what pkgadd can potentially do.

And so NO to the user.

Thanks a lot for your time and efforts.

Original question:

Hi,

How does one make pkgadd to be used by ordinary users
(instead of being root)? is it possible?
thanks [sol2.6 if it matters]
