        From FreeBSD 4.4's su(8):

SYNOPSIS
     su [-] [-Kflm] [-c class] [login [args]]
...
     If the optional args are provided on the command line, they are passed to
     the login shell of the target login.

        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).
