Does this answer your question?? IOW switch to another tty and log on as
whoever you
wish. You can also use su to switch to a different user within the same
tty.
Well, I guess I worded my question incorrectly. :-)
I knew it could be done, but I don't know how....
I don't know what "IOW switch" means, and couldn't find anything in "man" or
"apropos"...
"IOW" means "in other words" (IRC jargon). He was saying "in other
words, switch to another tty..."
