Entries in /sys can be chown'd and chmod'd: Perhaps /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/* could be chgrp'd to admin and chmod'd 664 on boot? (And cpufreq selector made to just test if it can write to the files it needs before complaining). In fact, it's really just a handful of files that need chmod'ing, not the entire directory.
No suid root need. Although perhaps we want some scripts to run in order to do this chmodding when CPUs are hotplugged too ;) -- /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector should have different access permissions https://launchpad.net/bugs/23768 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
