Check to see if the binary is setuid. If you want it to run as nobody,
chown nobody, then chmod to make setuid. Or, turn off setuid and try the
su -c method you mentioned

Here is a python script I wrote to change user ids for daemons:

uid = int(u)
os.setuid(uid)

In this particular case, sshd. But what if I just wanted to run some arbitrary

Maybe:
su - nobody

I can connect to http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu but not to ftp://videl.ics.hawaii.edu

Actually I second that motion.my wish is a way to start a program during
boot (daemon) but run as a dedicated user (kinda like nobody) so that I can
limit possible damage. chroot comes to mind, but how to I get the program
