Install the sudo package, and put in /etc/sudoers something like
bolan ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pon, /usr/bin/poff
read the sudo and sudoers man pages for full details, but, with
substituting an appropriate username for "bolan", this'll get
you going. Basic use has one line for each user, but, as you'll
read in the man pages, you can create sudoers groups.
