A tricks on how to run a script as root without sudo, in case someone needs this. I use this for toggle on and off camera without pkexec. It’s useful imho

Just like when an admin hands out sudo rights to run a custom script without locking down the script itself.
Avoid using sudo and setuid by writing your own sudo program using setuid?
Oh, in the 90s I worked at a big defense contractor, one of a shell script had a suid on it, so just by creating a symbolic link named “-x” pointing to the script, and executing it, you entered in a root shell ☺️
Do you know how many times I’ve made some little bit of shell code “setuid” by writing a shitty little C program that just calls system()?
