How to change user while logged as root
Is there a way when logged in as root, to run another program as a different user ? I know I know Im not supposed to be running as root, but I had a right nightmare copying my settings across yesterday, and I think I'll tackle it again next week. would like to be running some irc progs, and of course the servers dont like it when you're root. dids
