Red Hat's coreutils patches include the addition of the "runuser"
program, which provides a super-set of setuidgid's functionality.
I'll be adding that upstream, pretty soon.
$ runuser --help
Usage: runuser [OPTION]... [-] [USER [ARG]...]
Change the effective user id and group id to that of USER.
-, -l, --login make the shell a login shell
-g --group=group specify the primary group
-G --supp-group=group specify a supplemental group
-c, --commmand=COMMAND pass a single COMMAND to the shell with -c
--session-command=COMMAND pass a single COMMAND to the shell with -c
and do not create a new session
-f, --fast pass -f to the shell (for csh or tcsh)
-m, --preserve-environment do not reset environment variables
-p same as -m
-s, --shell=SHELL run SHELL if /etc/shells allows it
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
A mere - implies -l. If USER not given, assume root.
