[User-mode-linux-user] Requirement for ethertap daemon.

[David W. <dw...@in...>]

What's the reason for requiring a daemon to be run as root?

Wouldn't it be possible to simply use a /dev/tap{x] device directly from 
the UML? Then all root needs to do is:

 ifconfig tap0 $IPADDR pointopoint $UMLADDR
 chown $UMLUSER /dev/tap0
