[Lazarus] root privileg

[A. Fortuny]

Hi Folks.

How to gain temporarily root privileges in a pascal program ?
I need to 'ping' an IP address and for ping to work (Indy 10) I need to 
be root.
Usage of another TCP component is not an option.
Another way is to execute a shell and intertpret the results but I'd to 
avoid it if possible.
It is on Linux system.

Thanks
