maybe I missed a critical post explaining why it has to be, but that's
a job for a trivial sudo specification line.

I can't think of any reason why sudo is not the answer to your
problem, or frankly isn't always the answer.

I have already tried sudo before writing my own setuid-root-program, by calling it directly from pam_exec and by letting pam_exec call another program first that calls sudo. Either case failed, even with simple tests like letting sudo run /bin/ls (and of course I checked before that the same user could use sudo from the command line).
