If you to allow non-root users to use KBootSelector, you can do that by creating a new group `lilousers' in /etc/group.
Add all the users that may use KBootSelector to this group.
Then change the group of the lilo executable and the boot map file to `lilousers'.
When you have done this, the users in `lilousers' will be able to select a next boot option.
However, they cannot find out which next boot option is currently selected.
To solve that, change the group of the boot device to `lilousers' as well.
With the boot device, I mean the device that is the value of the ``boot = ...'' line in /etc/lilo.conf (e.g. /dev/hda).
You don't have to do anything special with the permissions and ownerships of the KBootSelector executable, because it calls Lilo to do what is needed.
