Hello there, Is there any way to switch user without getting an interactive prompt or using sudo?
I have run into an issue described as follows: Installing software on old solaris boxes without sudo installed. Root logins disabled. Ssh keys unused. I tried using a with('su -') kind of approach, or using run, but everything I've tried thus far then pops me to a new, interactive prompt, rather than continuing the automated task. I can exit that prompt to continue execution, but the tasks that need to be run as root never complete. I should mention that, on boxes that allow root login or use sudo, it's all gravy. The problem is just logging in with a non privileged user and then switching to root. Any suggestions? Thanks, Robert
