One solution you might consider is to store the password in another file
that is read in by the setuid script.
As the user executes the script, which he/she has read permissions on,
the script can read an encrypted/plain text file that is only readable by
the owner.
May be I'm missing something but how this case differs from the previous
solution: script with setuid without read access?
