Warner,

Aren't the front-ends and others running setuid on your box? The Makefile still looks like they are:


.for f in VBoxNetAdpCtl VBoxNetDHCP ${VBOX_FRONTENDS}
	${CHMOD} 4511 ${PREFIX}/lib/virtualbox/${f}
.endfor

If that's the case still, then the PBI will still need to prompt for the password, since we don't play as nicely with setuid :)
