This method is not safe, the primary reason being that there is no log
of who invoked the setuid program and at what time.

Sudo has a NOPASSWD option which eliminates the need for providing
passwords. However, do not try reading the its man page, which though
quite extensive does a very bad job in providing a "quickstart" type
of guide.  Have a look at http://www.aplawrence.com/Basics/sudo.html
and http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/08/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html
for a much gentler introduction
