Details

Currently lldpd information (via lldpctl or lldpcli) is only accessible to root, although the information it manages is not secret – e.g. both networkd and NetworkManager expose the received LLDP information to all users.

For convenience, either /usr/bin/lldpcli should have u+s set (as Debian does), or /run/lldpd should be world-accessible.

Debian also has a setuid lldpcli, and the interactive mode seems to be designed with this in mind (only root can use 'configure').

This task depends upon
