I know about the security implications. Since the pickaxe book talks about
the SAFE-level being different when running suid, I though ruby maybe has
some built-in support for suid scripts, like maybe:
	.) if the interpreter is suid, but the executed script is not, just drop
the root privileges before doing anything
	.) if the script is suid, but the interpreter is not warn about this
	.) if both are suid, execute the script suid, but take security
precautions (like a higher SAFE level)

I know perl has something called suidperl, but I don't know how this works.

anyway, I'll have to stick with some sort of wrapper....

greetings, Florian Pflug
