Full Discussion: forcing users to su
Operating Systems Solaris forcing users to su Post 88276 by Perderabo on Wednesday 2nd of November 2005 02:41:50 PM

One idea: use sudo. Allow joeblow to use sudo to run stuff as oracle.
joeblow thisbox=(oracle) NOPASSWD: ALL

Now change the oracle password. Do not tell joeblow the new oracle password. Now joeblow can login to thisbox and type stuff like:
sudo -u oracle ksh
to get an oracle ksh shell.
