Runas is a tool for running commands as another user. It is an
|
|
alternative to "sudo", which has a history of serious security issues,
|
|
and "su", which is inconvenient for anything but running a shell.
|
|
|
|
The runas command is a simple wrapper around "su" to streamline its
|
|
use. It differs from "sudo" in that it requires the password of the
|
|
target user rather than the calling user, and it requires no SUID
|
|
permissions or configuration.
