You might want to use the "super" utility to run scripts that set uid
for you. You edit the /etc/super.tab file to tell it how much
authority a script can have and who is allowed to run it. For example,
I have
cdmount /usr/local/bin/cdmount uid=root moho@hostname
cdumount /usr/local/bin/cdumount uid=root moho@hostname
in mine. the cdmount/cdumount scripts can just have the full mount and
umount commands that I would run as root. Normally you would use them
by doing "super cdmount" at the prompt, but if you look in the
examples in /usr/doc/super after installing it you'll see how to make
the super-invoking built-in.
