So dont use su then...
There is the sudo utility you can use, if you dont have, get it installed by downloading the software from your favorite HP Archive center... It can allow you to sudo a user without asking passwd once correctly configured... |

You have to use sudo. That requires setting up users in the sudoers file. Code:
sudo su - someuser You grant access on a per user basis or based on some other criteria. |

If you cannot install sudo, the target user can allow you access by making an entry in a
.rhosts file containing a single line with two parameters: Code:
hostname yourusername See man .rhosts . Make sure that any .rhosts file has permissions 600 and is owned by root (or less preferably owned by the user). Some sites do not allow .rhosts files because they are deemed to be a security risk. This is mainly because it's easy to create one which would allow anybody access to an account. |
