October 1, 20232 yr When in an SSH session, I sometimes need to modify/move/create a lot of files and directories. As I can only log in as the root user, this messes up the permissions. I know I can technically `chmod` them, but it would be way easier to switch to the `nobody` user with `su nobody`, make the necessary changes, then exit the session and be dropped right back to the root SSH shell.
