Telnet login as user other than root, possible?

[theone]

I want to do some internal unRAID file copying via telnet console.

I don't want to do it as "root" user because then file permissions are incorrect for SMB access.

 

Can I login as different user? how?

Have not tried to login as a user other than root. I know once you are logged in as root, you can use the su command to change to another user.

 

For instance if I have a username I want to change to of user1, the command is

root@tower:/# su user1
user1@tower:/# 

 

Any commands run after this are run as user1. Just type exit to go back to being root.

A shell must be specified for most users. Enter:

 

su - nobody --shell=usr/bin/bash
