Thanks to

for two quick answers which I have included below

Hi Vincent,

 Here's the excerpt from the /etc/passwd file which will do what you
want.

Run an pwconv after you copy this line to /etc/passwd and then
assign a

password for this account (It's best to have a password which is
known

to everybody than not having a password at all).

I would suppose that you make the commands set-uid root and only 
runnable
by root and the group...
rwSr-x---   root operator	<command>
