Two questions actually, trying to run the Intel TSS with a SW TPM
1
Instructions for a project say to run
service tpm2-abrmd start
When I do that, I get
* Starting TPM2 Access Broker and Resource Management Daemon tpm2-abrmd
** (process:19039): WARNING **: 18:06:45.480: tcti_conf before: "device:/dev/tpm0"
** (tpm2-abrmd:19039): WARNING **: 18:06:45.488: tcti_conf after: "device:/dev/tpm0"
Refusing to run as root. Pass --allow-root if you know what you are doing.
This probably fails because I don't have /dev/tpm0,ight?
2
Later instructions says to
sudo -u tss /usr/local/sbin/tpm2-abrmd --tcti=mssim &
which fails because I don't have tpm2-abrmd. I did install the packages - Ubuntu 20.

Finally, if I'm using the SW TPM, can I simply skip the abrmd complexity and somehow point the Intel TSS to the SW TPM socket.
