But since you want to demote to a known username rather than a uid,
this is useful too:

  (define-cstruct _passwd
    ([name   _string]
     [passwd _string]
     [uid    _int]
     [gid    _int]
     [gecos  _string]
     [dir    _string]
     [shell  _string]))
  
  (define getpwnam
    (get-ffi-obj 'getpwnam (ffi-lib #f) (_fun _string -> _passwd-pointer)))
  
  (passwd-uid (getpwnam "eli"))
