This reminds me of this comic http://xkcd.com/149/ . I know this is tangential, but I hope worth a good laugh.

I have a box running Suse Linus on which I have Stata-MP 11 installed.
  Although I have administrator (root) privileges, I'd like to be able to
update Stata when I'm logged in as me.  I know I set this up on my old box,
but I can't, for the life of me, find any hint of how I did it.  Your help
will be most appreciated.

Cheers.
