Thanks. Actually one of my user's UID was messed up. I deleted the user and then added her. Everything works fine now.

setresgid
SETRESUID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SETRESUID(2)
NAME
setresuid, setresgid - set real, effective and saved user or group ID
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <unistd.h>
int setresuid(uid_t ruid, uid_t euid, uid_t suid);
int setresgid(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid, gid_t sgid);
DESCRIPTION
setresuid() sets the real user ID, the effective user ID, and the saved set-user-ID of the calling process.
Unprivileged user processes may change the real UID, effective UID, and saved set-user-ID, each to one of: the current real UID, the cur-
rent effective UID or the current saved set-user-ID.
Privileged processes (on Linux, those having the CAP_SETUID capability) may set the real UID, effective UID, and saved set-user-ID to arbi-
trary values.
If one of the arguments equals -1, the corresponding value is not changed.
Regardless of what changes are made to the real UID, effective UID, and saved set-user-ID, the file system UID is always set to the same
value as the (possibly new) effective UID.
Completely analogously, setresgid() sets the real GID, effective GID, and saved set-group-ID of the calling process (and always modifies
the file system GID to be the same as the effective GID), with the same restrictions for unprivileged processes.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EAGAIN uid does not match the current UID and this call would bring that user ID over its RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit.
EPERM The calling process is not privileged (did not have the CAP_SETUID capability) and tried to change the IDs to values that are not
permitted.
VERSIONS
These calls are available under Linux since Linux 2.1.44.
CONFORMING TO
These calls are nonstandard; they also appear on HP-UX and some of the BSDs.
NOTES
Under HP-UX and FreeBSD, the prototype is found in <unistd.h>. Under Linux the prototype is provided by glibc since version 2.3.2.
The original Linux setresuid() and setresgid() system calls supported only 16-bit user and group IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added setre-
suid32() and setresgid32(), supporting 32-bit IDs. The glibc setresuid() and setresgid() wrapper functions transparently deal with the
variations across kernel versions.
