Can't run commands with sudo -u www-data

[JacobDB]

This bug-tracker is monitored by developers and other technical types. We like detail! So please use this form and tell us, concisely but precisely, what's up. Please fill out ALL THE FIELDS!

If you have a feature request, please post to the UserVoice. If you're reporting a BSOD, don't post here! Instead, e-mail "secure@microsoft.com", and if possible attach the minidump from "C:\Windows\minidump".

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt) Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

  jacob@SURFACE-LAPTOP:/var/www$ sudo -u www-data echo "hello wolrd"
  sudo: setresuid() [1000, 33, 1000] -> [-1, 0, -1]: Operation not permitted
  sudo: unable to set runas group vector: Operation not permitted
  sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, 0): Operation not permitted
  sudo: unable to open /var/run/sudo/ts/jacob: Permission denied
  [sudo] password for jacob:
  sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, 0): Operation not permitted

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead: Should echo "hello world". I can do this with `sudo -u root echo "hello world", so it seems to be something with www-data specifically.

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If <cmd> is failing, then run strace -o strace.txt -ff <cmd>, and post the strace.txt output here)
