I hope I'm not confused... If I understand your problem, and sudo, my solution would be to configure sudo so that Pam could run only homenet.sh .
Pam would then type "sudo homenet.sh", and enter her password, and the shell script could run as root. If Pam entered sudo anything else, sudo would give her an error.
