How to sudo to multiple users?
Hi all,
I have to create SSH public key for multiple users.
Iam creating a script in which, through root, I have to switch to multiple accounts to create SSH keys and then transfer it to the respective servers.
First I tried with single user id and everything worked fine.
When I try to sudo from root to different user id, it just going to to command prompt.
I have to maually exit from command prompt to execut the next steps in the script.
When the script execute the follwoing...
sudo [-su] user1
The control goes too...
~/home/user1>
So how can I avoid this manual intervention, so that I can execute the ssh-keygen for multiple users from single script.
Thanks in advance.
