I think the main problem here is things like setuid; those tasks cannot be performed by a non-root user. Maybe you can check if a memebership in the groups wheel or operator is sufficient? In worst case, use su, sudo, or super (while having MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and DESTDIR set to non-system locations). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
