[wplug] Quick script/SU(or SUDO) question

[terry mcintyre]

You might want to try something like "chmod og+s prog"
-- that will permit other users to run yourprogram
with your id and access privileges -- of course, the
downside is that you don't have much control over who
gets that access. You can restrict it to members of
the same group, or open it to everyone, but you can't
delegate it to just one other party.
