[clue] impersonation

[David L. Willson]

That'll probably be the way I end up doing it, but what if I wanted to give my user the ability to get a full, interactive login shell with the profile and rc's of the user they impersonate?

How do you let one non-privileged user impersonate (become) another non-privileged user?

When *I* need to impersonate a user, I run: sudo su - some_user, but I don't want the regular users doing that. Or, do I?
