Better is mostly relative. I just found the organization and
syntax of the 'super.tab' file very intuitive.
Specify the keyword, the executable, the uid to run as,
and who can run it

for eg. the line
useraddcgi   /usr/sbin/useradd  uid=0  nobody

(I hope the syntax is correct. anyways...)

would allow user nobody to run the command useraddcgi with uid of 0
Note that useraddcgi is a keyword which user nobody has to use.

It does have some security gotchas but its quite easy and
simple to setup quickly.
