Re: [atomic-devel] Introducing bubblewrap

why setuid? why not just do the non-privileged part, then fire a dbus event to some root service to do the privileged part of adding network config. (and uses policy kit to validate the request).

or a root daemon that do the privileged part of network configuration.

so in summary
an unprivileged user tool that do every possible thing (except network configuration)

it then fires a dbus event or a request to privileged daemon "please configure network on this please"
