Reviving my PR #41 and
polishing it up a bit for easier usage.
The wrapper script makes running without root as easy as
sudo opensnitchand that will check the SUDO_USER environment variable by default or the argument--userWhy this is needed:
I was working on getting D-bus based IPC working and wanted to do my dev work using the D-Bus Session Bus (the one running in my desktop session).
Running something in my users session bus is very tricky from the root account and not something I feel comfortable expecting from users even at this point.
Using the System Bus is also out of the question for now since it needs to be provided by a .service file on systemd based distros (which is great for us since it solves the issue of some malware impersonating opensnitch).
I want us to transition to using the System Bus in the future but Session Bus is easier for now.
