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 ;-)
