The following reply was made to PR docs/43678; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, hiten@angelica.unixdaemons.com Cc: Subject: Re: docs/43678 [PATCH] Updates for the pciconf(8) manual page Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 23:36:41 -0500 Hiten, This isn't bad, but we have a slight problem :( This really isn't the a problem with pciconf(8) and non-root users, its actually the fact that non-root users do not (and should not) have write access to /dev/pci. Something like (without mdoc(7)): pciconf(8) is limited to users with write access to /dev/pci, usually root. We get that taken care of, I see no reason why NOT to commit this patch and close this PR.
