Hello.

I have a game server running and like to create dummy accounts to run them
under in case there lies a backdoor in one of the services.

In this instance we will used Quake3, q3ded.

I do:

chown games:games q3ded
chmod 4755 q3ded

But top -u will still show the q3ded process to be running under UID 0.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks.
