The process can not perform the dangerous action secured by that

that action.
Thanks for the explanation.
I tried two machines here and apparently the privilege can be set on
both of them without being Administrator, so I don't even know if it's
worth chasing this test. That is, I don't know if ln(1) prints a
helpful error when the link cannot be created. If it says something
vague like "permission denied", I'm thinking it would be helpful to
pre-diagnose the problem in the wrapper script.
