in thread AIX reset users

sudo su - username seems like an overkill. Don't give the users root access via sudo if they don't need that, just give them access to that one service user, and let them use sudo -u username -i.

    ambrus,
    Giving them root access would be insane. Of course you would limit what commands could be issued via sudo by the configuration of the sudoers configuration. While there are shortcuts as you point out, the command I provided doesn't give someone root access.
