    Passing root permission

    Hi. I'm writing a program that requires root privileges. Can anyone point out the logic on how my program can prompt the user to enter root password if the user isn't the superuser. I want it to be dynamic so the user won't have to "sudo" in a terminal just to run the program. thanks.
