Use sudo; it can be configured to allow a specific user to run a specific
command with specific arguments as a specific user. It also deals with any
platform-specific quirks (which could be security holes if not handled
correctly).

Also: this is off-topic for c.l.c, as it's primarily a Unix question
rather than a C question. Even if you wrote such a tool in C, it would
be 90% Unix knowledge, 10% C knowledge.
