Mostly it is a matter of having the permissions for the program to be something like 755 if owned by root. Although sudo is ok if you want to give execution permissions to a small group of users, if you want to give permission to all users to execute a program that needs root privileges when running, then SUID through: chmod u+s seems more direct. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
