bfgminer without sudo? (usage of --setuid)

[saljut7]

Hey miners,

running bitcoin-core-0.13.0 + bfgminer 4.2.0 on Debian8.6 (ARM) I didn't figure out how to start bfgminer with an unprivileged user. I tried:

Code:

sudo useradd -s /bin/false bfgminerUser
sudo adduser bfgminerUser dialout
sudo bfgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u MyRPCuser -p MyRPCpassword --coinbase-addr MyPayoutAddressForSoloMining --coinbase-sig "rig1: BlockErupterOrange" --setuid MybfgminerUser

Unfortunately bfgminer can not find any devices this way...

Code:

sudo bfgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u MyRPCuser -p MyRPCpassword --coinbase-addr MyPayoutAddressForSoloMining --coinbase-sig "rig1: BlockErupterOrange" 

...works fine (sowithout --setuid MybfgminerUser).

Any ideas?
