From 65ce48703377a0df80064004e290fe94597973fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dd Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 15:51:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove the sentence about only root being able to run watch(8). It was never technically true (it's snp(4) that required root, not watch(8)), and after snp.c 1.64, isn't even effectively true, since who can run watch(8) depends on the permissions of the snp device(s).
