Running a root process.

I would like to do some code like edit Apache configuration
that requires uid root. What I can do is just install a setuid
root and just make the changes unannounced. What I would like
to do use some function like this

	suexec(...) - Display the security dialog and on successful
		identification as an administrator user and password,
		exec the program ... as setuid root.

but after repeated attempts to get through Apple's documentation
I don't know if the function exists or is possible. Because I do
have a setuid root installer, I can install setuid root programs,
I just think it's bad form to run setuid root without the computer's
owner realizing that I'm doing so and authourising it.
