setuid bit, dust off your unix manual about file permissions

.

Given the fact that you need to be root to actually set the setuid bit (obviously), catch-22: you're screwed. [And even before that, you also need to be on a FS which actually handles unix permissions, ie. not vfat, which rules out the userstore].
