the sudoers file provides for specifying which commands a user is
allowed to run. If you make a sudo group on this computer then
the users in that group do not need a password. with these two
features you can do what you want.

I think this is beyond the ability of SUDO but I need some solution.
I need to be able to setup some way for a bash script to be run only by
regular users without any arguments and run by root with specific
arguments that are gathered when it is run by a regular user.
So when Joe runs the script it sees that Joe is not root and so it
builds some arguments and sends it off to itself or another script as
root by some system that works like sudo.
The reason I think that sudo will not work is I cannot let people run
the sudo script directly and add their own arguments. Example; sudo
thescript h=1 y=45. If run as a normal user it must not allow arguments
and when run as root the only arguments that are allowed are then ones
generated when the script ran as a normal user.
The only way I think I could make sudo work for this is if the script
when run with sudo as root would check the parent PID to find the
program that called it, but I think that could be faked by creating
another script of the same name. A solution to that would be to some
how get the inode for the current script from the /proc/$$/ files. I
know how to do that.
So is there a better way? Is there some option I can set in the sudoers file to do this?
