Short answer - don't do it. If you want to give people limited
access to root, use sudo. Look it up on freshmeat. Or go to
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo. But I think both RH 7.0 and SuSE ships
with it. It has very powerful ACLs that you can exploit to the fullest.

If I were you, I'd edit /etc/passwd and set uid/gid manually to 0.
