I would like some insight especially on [message #30], regarding the fact that runuser does something basically equivalent to what su does, and thus seems to be unfit to irreversibly drop root privileges, and regarding my search for a command that works like s6-setuidgid, but runs the given command inside the user's login shell (with all the environment that the user would get on a normal login). [message #30]: <https://bugs.debian.org/916753#30> > I guess I already mentioned the two alternatives (runuser/setpriv). [...] Maybe setpriv is equivalent to s6-setuidgid. If this is the case, it can be used as an alternative to s6-setuidgid. But I would like to have a command that runs a given command inside the regular user's login environment, as I said above. Do you know one such command? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
