(this isn't exactly alpha-specific, but it's on a big alpha - please
 bear with me!)
We have users who run apache and/or squid on gs140s running t64 v4.0f,
on port 80 (we start processes at boot or they use sudo).

They want to be able to run a process on the host which monitors
apache/squid, and if it goes down this process (run as unprivileged
user) would be able to restart apache/squid on port 80. I'm looking
for a way to do this without storing the root password on disk somewhere.

Any ideas???

Huge TIA!!
