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

This is how "make install" installs it. I would suggest talking to upstream.

@grawity did you deal with upstream as Doug suggest it?
