|What's the difference between
| system("sudo date <date>");
|and
| system("suid_own_date <date>");
|
|???

|The checks have to be performed anyway before.
It is possible that you have not been as careful as sudo in doing all
the checks, and even so, sudo has a history of mistakes that had to be
corrected. So if somebody can see the code to your suid program and find
a mistake, they can make it do something you didn't expect.
Then again setting the date doesn't require that much checking.
