(Note: gtk app's can't use "setuid" mode, so that's n...

I am writing some software (in C++, for Linux/Mac OSX) which runs as a non-privileged user but needs root privileges at some point (to create a new virtual device).

The whole point of rvm is to be able to install multiple rubies and access them from a user account. What do you do when you need to access any of those rubies from root?
