* On systems that have the setresuid() and setresgid() system calls to
set the real uid and gid to the effective uid and gid, the Nix binaries can be installed as owned by the Nix user and group instead of root, so no root involvement of any kind is necessary. Linux and FreeBSD have these functions.
