Other user team performance
-
There's a test and test user. Both with customary rights. I'm working with the test user, knowing the test1 doesn't have a password, and that's what I want to do. Trying to do this:
su test1 -c whoami
But it wants some password, though it's not there. Any other decisions? Sudo is not an option because the test user is not in the sudoers file.
OS: FreeBSD 8.1 amd64

No password, which means that the user can't be authenticated as required by the programme su (The super-user has the privilege to authenticate through this program without using the user password).
I know at least two options:
Apply the password to this user on behalf of the super-user:
# passwd test1
if programme sudo set, add
/etc/sudoers
such a line:test ALL = (test1) ALL
this will enable the user test any programmes/commands on behalf of the user test1:
$ sudo -u test1 whoami
User password test♪
May be done without a password request, adding a directive
NOPASSWD:
in line above:test ALL = (test1) NOPASSWD: ALL
