Hi Sasha,

Some people were asking me if it would be possible to 
allow some of the IB diagnostic tools to be run without
requiring being logged in as root. Would there be
any problem in changing the installation to set their
permissions to setuid root to allow this, i.e.,

chmod +s /usr/sbin/ibnetdiscover
chmod +s /usr/sbin/ibaddr
chmod +s /usr/sbin/smpquery
chmod +s /usr/sbin/perfquery
