I suspect a wrapper script should do. something like
#!/bin/bash
ssh -l root localhost '/usr/bin/xcdroast $*'
########## end ##############
save that as xcdroast.sh
Now all you need do is set up ssh on your box!
Alternatively, you could "chmod -s xcdroast" and then run it as root.
Finally, you could have a look at "sudo" which allows selected users
to run selected programs as root.
