netctl - Give regular user power to change the network profile

Hello,

I'm trying to create a netctl+dmenu profile switcher.
I need to be able to do this without root (so i can call it from my WM)

Thus my user needs to be able to change the network profile.

How do you do this?

Re: netctl - Give regular user power to change the network profile

You can add something like this to /etc/sudoers

your_user_name ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/netctl

That way sudo netctl can be run without entering a password.
