user access to network scripts
Hi,
I have a rather strange situation.
I have to allow user acces on a system to one of the network interfaces.
More precisely:
The interface should be connected to one of two networks. The host
should never be connected to both networks concurrently, and is is
physically switched between them.
Each time such a switch is made, the interface should be brought sown,
then up again with new parameters.
Up to this point there's no specia difficulty. The problem is that the
whole procedure should be made not only by the superuser, but by a wide
group of users, possibly all users. The system is physically secured, so
generally security is considered a secondary issue on it, but this is an
extreme case.
I have to allow users to perform the procedure, but would like to
minimize the changes to permissions of system files.
What's your suggestion for the 'cleanest' way to do this?
Thanks head,
Tuvik
