Hello folks!I'm writing a software for the Linux environment. I'll need to
share data between a daemon and a program running on the user's context.
I chose to use shared memory because it's faster.
I'm trying to use boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object but I'm facing a
problem:
When I access the shared memory in my test case running in the same user
context, everything works fine.
But when I access it using a program running in the current user when the
shared memory was created as root, I get an access denied error.
I searched in the documentation for a way to enable access to all users but
I found nothing.
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks in advance.
Silvio.
