image-factory  can  be  run  as normal user, but it need root permission for a few operations like chmod,
       mount, and umount.  Since these operations cannot be secured with sudo’s  wildcards,  image-factory-sudo-helper was introduced to check the commands using regular expression.

       image-factory-sudo-helper  will  take  a command (including parameters) and checks if it one of the three
       allowed commands:

       • chmod on files or (sub-)directories in /tmp/image-factory

       • mount of loop device in /tmp/image-factory

       • umount in /tmp/image-factory

       If the given command passes is one of the allowed commands, it will be executed.  Otherwise an error mes‐
       sage will be printed.

       If the environment variable DRYRUN is set, the given command will not be executed but printed instead.
