    I have the need to have a non-priveleged user change the ownership of a
    file or files that he owns, to
    another non-privelged user.

    Redhat does not permit this. We thought about using sudo, however this
    could be dangerous.
    Is there a secure way to do this.
    If we use sudo, is there a way to make sure that the options provided to
    the chown commands or
    wrapper script are safe?
