There has been an interesting note on the Ubuntu bug tracker [1] which recommends using linux capabilities and CAP_SYS_ADMIN in particular. Thanks to Michael Biebl for making me aware of that posting. I've dug a bit and found a good entry article [2] that convinced me this is a good solution. I just don't have the time to do it now, but hopefully within the next two month.
