How to suspend x86 via apm as non-root user?



Hello folks,

Each time I try to suspend my x86 `sid` workstation as a non-root user
via the command apm -s I receive this error message:

	apm: Operation not permitted

Permissions on /dev/apm_bios are crw-rw-rw- (0666).

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Maybe chmod +s /usr/bin/apm? Seems to be an eventual `workaround`.

Thanks for feedback,

 I.

P.S. Please Cc: me `eim@mentors.debian.net` on each reply, I am actually
not subscribed to debian-user, thanks.
