Let me see if I understand this correctly, if I give an executable 
owned by root a permission 775 then any member of the root group 
would be able to use that executable same as root.  Is that 
correct?

How would I set up a GUI front end (for a command line executable 
that can only be run by root) so that a password dialog comes 
requesting the root password?
