So… one solution, that works, ;) is to chown root:wheel and chmod u+s. This
gives the binary the privs it needs. But Apple’s binary in /usr/bin does not
employ this solution. I thought maybe I could sign it with my dev cert and go
that route. But not sure what/how to configure. If nothing better comes along
I can at least do this.
