One of the things that is annoying about Rails deployment is the need to use 'root' access to do certain tasks. Capistrano recipes are liberally sprinkles with 'sudo' requests.
However on server clusters using public key infrastructure this makes automatic setup a bit more problematic than it should be. I was wondering whether the default 'sudo' commands used in Capistrano could be translated into setuid scripts and wrapped up in a separate Gem or package. That way all the standard recipe tasks could be run as the default user without requiring privilege elevation at all. Thoughts?
