Subject: user-controllable eth0 in gentoo?
I haven't gotten any good replies in the gentoo forums on this one, so I am turning to the gentoo-guru's here again.

How do I give a non-root user priviledges to bring up and down eth0? Setuid and sudo are not what I'm looking for. I actually want to lower the priviledge level required to control eth0. Red Hat does this with the USERCTL=yes option in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Unfortunately, I have no idea how they pull that off.

Ideas?

Thanks,
...Kevin
