My most focused post yet on the subject!

I need to run bppllist as a non superuser for some reporting tools.  Ideally, 
without having to use a password either.  For whatever reason, this particular 
binary checks for UID 0 and if you are not UID 0, you get "userid is not 
superuser (140)."

  I have tried authorized.txt (no effect), VXSS (password and impossible to 
reliably setup), methods files [methods_allow.txt, methods_deny.txt, 
methods.txt] (worked in small environment, caused things to break in larger 
environments), sudo (password, no windows solution), and RBAC (password, no 
windows solution).

Any creative ideas here?

Thanks,
Kyle
