pkgadd by ordinary user

The majority said that it is possible thru sudo and some

suggested setuid'ing. But the consensus is that it IS A BAD

idea, given the fact what pkgadd can potentially do.

And so NO to the user.

Thanks a lot for your time and efforts.

Original question:

Hi,

How does one make pkgadd to be used by ordinary users

(instead of being root)? is it possible?

thanks [sol2.6 if it matters]
