[Wrapper-user] Re: Need ability to become different user on wrapper launch

[Stundzig, S. <Ste...@gd...>]

Hi leif,

you've done a great job with the wrapper tool. I love it. :-)

Your current approach of using the 'su -m' to change the user which =
executes the wrapper on unix has a tiny drawback. 'su -m' changes only =
the effective UID and not the real UID as with 'su -'. This causes =
problems on tools they use the UID and not the EUID as for example 'rcs' =
wich is called by the RCSFileProvider of JSPWiki.

I've replaced the=20
	su -m $RUN_AS_USER -c "exec $CMDNICE....
in my sh start script to
	su - $RUN_AS_USER -c "cd `dirname $REALPATH`; exec $CMDNICE...
and it works as expected.=20
