Is there a way in FreeBSD to (being root) run a command as unprivileged user, like nobody? Kind of like reverse of sudo. Oh and considering that ‘nobody’ has /usr/sbin/nologin as shell – so su is not an option.

sudo will allow you to run a command as another user.
will run as nobody, even if their login shell is not available.
