Yes, you can use sudo. I haven't been following the thread, so don't
know which distribution you're using, but most distributions have the
sudo program installed.
There should be a file called /etc/sudoers (or something similar,
/usr/local/etc/sudoers, or /etc/sudo/sudoers.)
Open it with your favorite editor. There is a program called visudo,
that is the preferred way to edit the file, but if you're the only user
on there, we'll leave that for another time. If you're familiar with
the vi editor, which on all distros I know of save Mepis is the default
editor for visudo, then do use it, with the command
visudo -f /etc/sudoers
Add this line to it (I usually add these lines at the end, for if there
are two conflicting sets of permissions, sudo uses the last one)
I am assuming that all users belong to the users group, which is
standard on most installations. (Though not all)
%users ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/net_monitor
(As I've written it, with the % before the line)
