consolehelper is another mechanism for providing sudo-like functionality.
Rather than changing the app to run with sudo, what you want to do is edit
the consolehelper config in /etc/security/console.apps/pup. 'man userhelper'
for the variables that can be set there -- probably what you want to do is
set "UGROUPS=wheel" in that file and then add all pup-privileged users to
the wheel group. (gpasswd wheel -a roger).
