Allow program to access parallel port
 

Is it possible to allow a specific program access to a parallel port, not on root?

Thanks in advance!

You could run the program with root privileges,
either using sudo or have it run SUID.

whats sudo and SUID?

sudo is a program & config-file combo that
allows normal users to run programs as if
they were run by root.
SUID is a special flag in a files permissions
that tells Linux to run a program with root's
privileges, regardless of who started it.
