DTS currently runs all commands on the tester and the dut as the root user. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that most applications written with dpdk would not run as root. This could present a problem since it is possible that permissions errors could arise and we wouldn't notice it due to the way we currently test. Given that, I was wondering what should and should not be possible as a normal (non-root) user, and what would be the best way to go about verifying this. Thanks
