The only way I've found to do that is to give the tool a userid ("tooluser");
compile the password into the tool, and give only "tooluser" write permission
to the directories in question.

Internally, the tool has to do a setpag (to avoid stepping on the user's
token) and then authenticate with it's stored password when it starts up.

Ugly, but ...

A more elegant alternative: use DCE.  :)
