I have a situation where I want users to be able to execute some system
related commands without having to be root. An example is ndc, the
program that controls named. I have ndc set uid root, but because the
user doesn't own the named pid, they can't do anything.
I have the 'super' program, but I'm wondering if even that will solve my
problem. How have other system administrators handled this sort of
scenario.
