[Gllug] sudo query

[Vincent AE Scott]

i have a program that i want to use with sudo, the command can only be
run by a defined user in /etc/sudoers.  this works up till a point.  The
program thats started attempts to create a file in the real users $HOME.
This fails, as sudo does setuid(), and so the program no longer his
permission to write there.  

So the question is, how do i get sudo to use the home directory of the
users its supposed to be running as?  I've tried running sudo -H, but
thats makes no difference.  any ideas y'all?
