Switching Users in Terminal

Most people know that to get from being a normal user to root, you can just type su [enter], give the root password and hey presto; you’re now root@somedomain.  But what if I want to switch to another normal account when in terminal?  Same deal..

The only difference is that when you Switch User this time, you will be nominating the account you wish to use:

 

su accountname [enter]
password: 

And that’s it!
