There are several ways of doing that. `secure-su' lets you set
things up so that certain users can `su' to become certain other
users, and bypass the password. It's convienient to allow some folks
to become `webmaster' for instance.
`super' lets you set up certain commands to be run as another user.
It's pretty easy to do; once you RTFM you'll know as much as I do
about it, so I won't go into details.
`sudo' is another way; it is perhaps the most popular method of
allowing users to run commands as root or as other users.
Scripts may be set `SUID' two different ways. Perl programs may use
`suidperl', and shell scripts can securely be run SUID using
`suidexec', which may be found in the `suidmanager' package.
