just some silly ideas ..
1. make another user named "fakeroot" and a cron script which replace all
usernames from "root" to "fakeroot"
2. maybe some workaround with chroot ?
3. maybe a script which copys files to tmp with other permissions so that
it could be downloaded if needed (using sudo or su -c)
4. same as 3 but zip it before delivering so that the zip file has other
permissions and could be downloaded (also helpfull if someone want's an
entire directory
