Project Description

Erni replaces "su {user} -c {command}" that root uses to
run commands as nonroot users, because this method
requires that {user} have a valid login shell, leaving
another avenue open to abuse the account. With Erni,
{user} need not have a valid login shell, {user}'s group
memberships may be specified on the command line, and
{command} may be chroot'd. It may be used to kick off
daemons and also to run interactive tools (e.g. an SQL
browser) as the target user.

Erni can now fork() the specified command to run
it as a daemon, and compensate for init scripts
that hog the console. This release also uses a new
trace subsystem, and features several code
cleanups.
