Hey Martin, thanks for writing this up. I hope it helps some people in going through the hoops at the beginning :). The updater doesn't need superuser to run, just to turn on the TCP support in ZMD. You can also do that via the command line as root, "rug set-prefs remote-enabled true". Although, if you listen to me in IRC when I have not had enough coffee I drop the d off the end of "remote-enabled" and it doesn't work so well... Thanks again Martin and if anyone has any feedback, please don't hesitate to contact me. --Narayan On 9/11/06, Martin Schlander <suse@linuxin.dk> wrote:

Do you really need "superuser" privileges to use it?
This would be a problem IMHO because "superuser" means that the user can do pretty much anything, including adding services.
It should work with lower privileges (zen-updater is satisfied with "upgrade, refresh, view" privileges).
Actually you only need superuser privileges to enable tcp. It's a temporary situation having to do with Zmd sockets.
