I believe you can avoid that if you want. Write a C program that
calls
fork/exec. Call nvme in the fork. Set the setuid bit on the program.
Yes, and open yourself to potential security holes unless you know
exactly what you're doing (including setting the proper security
context). Problems with setuid programs written without due care and
attention are a classic entry point for attack.
Sudo exists to avoid the necessity of this sort of thing.
