[ovs-discuss] How to run ovs-vswitchd as non-root

Hi,

ovsdb-server gives an option to specify the ctl socket path with --unixctl
option. So, this and specifying the pid file path make it possible to run
this from a non-root account or without sudo. Is there a way that
ovs-vswiitchd can also be run without sudo? Right now, I get this error:
ovs-vswitchd: could not initialize control socket
/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.20342.ctl (Permission denied).

Thanks,
Aish
