I do the following many times a day
I login to a server via ssh as
user1
,
I then dosu -
to becomeroot
,
then I dosu --login user2
to becomeuser2
Is there a way to tell su
to go to user2
directly from user1
?
Note:
user2
1 does not have a password. user2
is named different at different times. (apache, liferay, solr, ftp, …)
Note2:
user1
is not trusted with sudo
it's a general purpose account used mainly to access logs. It doesn't even have a password, access granted only with a sshkey only.
Note3:
NO solutions that means any modification of the remote computer allowed. I have 30+ servers that I admin.
1 If you are curious it's the user an application runs as (tomcat, apache, jetty or similar)
