See "man runuser" and postgresql for an example where it is used. Thanx for the answer. runuser seems to be working ok, and we're probably going to replace sudo in the forecoming install scripts. (Actually, from what I've learnt, it's just su without correct_password() ) When do you think runuser goes mainstream? Because, as far as I have checked, it's only in FC3 with selinux (not in Debian, and not in Gentoo).
