setuidgid

## Name

setuidgid — runs another program under a specified account's uid and gid.

## Synopsis

`setuidgid` {`account`} {`child`}

## Description

`account` is a single argument. `child` consists of one or more arguments.

setuidgid sets its uid and gid to `account`'s uid and gid, removing all supplementary groups. It then runs `child`.

setuidgid cannot be run by anyone other than root.

## Exit codes

setuidgid exits 111 if it cannot find a UNIX account named `account`, if it cannot setgid, if it cannot setuid, or if it cannot run `child`. Otherwise its exit code is the same as that of `child`.
