I have the need to have a non-priveleged user change the ownership of a
file or files that he owns, to 
another non-privelged user.

Redhat does not permit this. We thought about using sudo, however this
could be dangerous.
Is there a secure way to do this.
If we use sudo, is there a way to make sure that the options provided to
the chown commands or 
wrapper script are safe?
