[Zope] ExternalMethod - add new parameter

[JPenny at ykksnap-america.com]

Zope itself should not be running as root.  The external method will run 
as
whatever user zope is running as.

If you insist on doing this kind of thing, which is a pretty bad idea, 
then
use os.system(...) or one of the popen(...) commands to call another 
program
that you have permitted root access by a somewhat controlled process,
such as sudo.  At least then, you will have a log of changes (unless you 
make
a security mistake and the log can itself be altered).

You seem to be carefully ignoring the fact that Dieter is pointing out 
that this isn't possible ;-)
