I recall there's sudo configuration options for users and/or
particular
commands that don't require a password.
"To run particular commands without sudo password in Linux, you
can use
the NOPASSWD directive in the /etc/sudoers file. This directive
allows
you to specify a list of commands that can be run without
requiring a
password."
Of course there are risks involved, you'll have decide about that
for
yourself.
Seems like I am going to have to compromise on sudo
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.

I finally broke down and used sudo (I despise the fussing
required and the half way documentation)
