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

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

One problem is that the system I'm actually trying to fix is running IRIX, not
linux. But there's usually enough common
