This is only possible if you are running Pd as root, which is general is not a good idea. If Pd is running as a different user, then you wouldn't be able to gain root access.

Matju can comment better, but AFAIR in my tests his external also worked with a setuid root Pd started as a normal user.

My mail was about specifically setuid root Pd started as a normal user, and then re-gaining root priviledges after the pd startup procedure abandons them.

I don't know how anyone can understand anything else from that mail.
