Running a program as non root (not trivial)
Hi,
I need to run a program - auth_imap - as another user than root. sudo is not an option.
Does anyone knows how to do it ?
Ant help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

When you say "as another user than root", do you mean that the process which invokes auth_imap is running as root (so auth_imap will normally also end up running as root)? If so, then use "su -c".
