Whilst that's not the easiest solution, I agree that it is probably
the "best" way.

Too much magic already depends upon the test of uid==0; using login

Actually reminds me of a university system I had an account on years
ago; only the sysops (in a certain group) could run the full ps;
everyone else was restricted...
