<h1> The s6-setuidgid program </h1>
<p>
s6-setuidgid executes a program as another user.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<pre>
s6-setuidgid <em>account</em> <em>prog...</em>
</pre>
<ul>
<li> If <em>account</em> is the empty string, then s6-setuidgid directly execs
into <em>prog...</em> without any state changes. </li>
<li> If <em>account</em> contains a colon, it is interpreted as <em>uid:gid</em>,
else it is interpreted as a username and looked up by name in the account
database. </li>
<li> If <em>account</em> is unknown, s6-setuidgid exits 1. </li>
<li> s6-setuidgid sets its (real and effective) uid and gid to those of <em>account</em>.
It also sets the list of supplementary groups to the correct one for <em>account</em>
according to the group database. </li>
<li> Then it executes into <em>prog...</em>. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<ul>
<li> Unless <em>account</em> is empty, s6-setuidgid can only be run as root. Its main use
is to drop root privileges before starting a daemon. </li>
</ul>
