Probably the easiest way is to make a script that does the dial-in stuff
and then make it setuid root, i.e. let it always execute as root. You
would do this with the command
chmod 4755 dialin.sh
This way everybody will be able to execute the script and it will always
run as root. Of course this means you'll have to be careful about what
you put in the script.
