Then perhaps that is a safer way to do it, but it would put more work
on the system admin to set it up for people, but if setting the permissions
of the commands to setuid root opens up a security hole, we would not want
that.

Does anyone know if setting the permissions to setuid root does actually
open up a security hole ?
