Login into different user on the same server
Hi All,
Please can you advise as to how should I write a shell script so that I can switch user from one user account to the other on the same server.
The requirements are user must be able to provide with a user name and it should then take a password which I have saved in a file and should be able to login into user sapce provided by user.
Cheers,
Shazin
