FreeBSD's su command does not accept commands.
From FreeBSD 4.4's su(8):

Here is a patch. That works with FreeBSD 4.5 Release and Debian SID.

FreeBSD 4.4 doesn't have a 'setuidgid' command. Nor do most other Unixes. However
su $RunAsUser -c $KohaZ3950Shell &
works fine for me (and should work on other Unixes as well).
My mistake. The "problem" is that my FreeBSD box has /dev/null as the login shell for www (the apache user). I've discovered (today) that the -c option passes the command to the shell of the user. it does not run the command as that user. A subtle difference.

I have a new patch that "works for me" now lets see if it works for anyone else :-) A more reliable way of starting daemon may be to use perl's suid module. Micheas
