I never saw a response to mine either that is related:

Subject: Running Process as another user (RUN_AS_USER)
I'm having real problems trying to get my processes to run as another 
user other than root.  I'm running Solaris 8 and roots shell is sh.  My 
user i'm trying to run as has a shell of csh.  I have even taken out 
everything out of its environment to rule that out of the problem.
My scripts work just fine when I run them from the command line.  I have 
it set up like so:

/etc/init.d/myapp -> linked to /home/myuser/myapp
/etc/rc3.d/S99myapp -> linked to ../init.d/myapp

I can either just fine from the command line:
# su - root
# /etc/init.d/myapp start
# /etc/rc3.d/S99myapp start

However, when I reboot the machine, I see the message "Starting 
Application Name..." message from the wrapper, but when I get to the 
command prompt and run:
#/etc/init.d/myapp status
It isn't running.  There is nothing written to my logs (both the 
wrapper.log or /var/adm/messages).
If I set RUN_AS_USER to root (or comment it out), it works fine.  I have 
tried this on 2 different machines, with different users, with NIS users 
and local users, etc.  I have put a redirect to a file after the su 
command.  All i see in there is the rest of the output from the boot 
process for some reason.  I see "Starting OpenWindows in 5 seconds, 
control C to stop."

I have tried running just the complete su command and that works fine as 
well.
I have also changed all my paths in all my config files to be absolute.
I'm at a loss...any help in what I can try to debug it would be great.
