  Description     : User identity switching tool based on grid credentials

gLExec is a program that acts as a light-weight 'gatekeeper'. it takes
Grid credentials as input, and takes the local site policy into
account to authenticate and authorize the credentials. It will then
switch to a new execution sandbox and execute the given command as the
switched identity. gLExec is also capable of functioning as a
light-weight control point which offers a binary yes/no result in
logging-only mode.
