A method which will usually work if you have a default TCP/IP setup with rlogin and remsh enabled. This approach is a security risk but less dangerous than holding a password in a script. All access will be logged. Don't do this with a root account.
See:
man inetd
man .rhosts
To give user user1 full access to user2.
Under user2 home directory create (or edit) the file called .rhosts with permissions 600 owned by user2.
In the .rhosts file put the line:
localhost user1
Then user1 can then rlogin to account user2:
rlogin localhost -l user2
Also user1 can run commands as user2 using remote shell (the command name for remote shell varies according to unix version):
remsh localhost -l user2 env
remsh localhost -l user2 -n "pwd;ls -la"

NAME
dspam_merge - merge several users' metadata into a composite
SYNOPSIS
dspam_merge [--profile=PROFILE] user1 user2 ... userN -o username
DESCRIPTION
dspam_merge merges several users' metadata into a single user's dictionary. This tool is designed to create global users and seeded data.
The hit sounds for each token and per-user totals are added together to produce a single composite dataset. After creating a composite
user, dspam_clean should be run with the -p option to clean up extraneous data.
NOTE : Merges may take a considerable amount of time. This could potentially increase the load on the server or even slow down the delivery
of email. A merge should only be performed when the system is fairly acquiesce.
OPTIONS
--profile=PROFILE
Specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. The storage profile selected will be used for all database connectivity. See dspam.conf
for more information.
user1 user2 ... userN
A list of users to merge together.
-o username
The target user which will be created (if necessary). This user will contain the composite generated by the merge.
EXAMPLES
dspam_merge dick jane spot -o ralph
Merges the metadata dictionaries of dick, jane, and spot into a single composite under the user ralph
EXIT VALUE
0 Operation was successful.
other Operation resulted in an error.
