Instructions for an admin to allow users to run LFT

LFT requires certain system privileges to send customized packets.
As distributed by Debian this only works for the root user.

The admin can follow these instructions to allow normal users to run LFT.
However, the admin should contemplate the following issues before making
the change:
1) Ease of use
2) Danger of a bug in a setuid program
3) Safety of users not needing the root password
4) Other alternative solutions such as sudo etc.
5) Various system monitoring processes might freak out at the 
appearance of a new SUID program in /usr/bin
6) Admin will have to run the chmod command (step #3) after each upgrade
of the lft package

Here is the step by step procedure:
1) Admin logs in as root, runs following two commands
2) ln -s /usr/sbin/lft /usr/bin/lft
3) chmod a+s /usr/bin/lft
4) login as a regular user and test it.

Note that the admin will have to execute step 3 after each lft package 
upgrade.
