If you call getpwnam(3) right after execve(2), then it's normal
that it fails.
execve replace the current process image with the one that gets
executed.
Try to do it by yourself (setpwnam(3) and so on) instead of calling
execve, otherwise you have to fork() (clone, whatever you like) than
let one process (child maybe) to execute something, than make the parent
wait for its child's death.
Make some sanity check always. :)
