If you go back through recent posts, you'll see that as part of one question,
I also asked about whether CRIU should need to be run as root.  In my tests,
it could not take a checkpoint if I did not use sudo.

Should that be the case?  Or is it something about my jobs?

Also, are there risks to setting up CRIU as setuid-to-root?
