[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#638393: Please allow resolvconf to run as non-root

dhcpcanon is an example of a DHCP client that runs as a non-root user (via systemd service or wrapper) and it's able to set the network because it has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, but it can't set the DNS servers because resolvconf requires root.

So, i also think it would be desirable for a non-root user to be able to invoke resolvconf.
