that's true....you can ssh to the same machine you're on...but you've got
the encryption/decrytion overhead to consider...that might impact
performance of whatever task he's trying to accomplish.

check ssh and pubkey-auth.
this avoids having a pwd in shell-history or scripts

Is sudo the only way for a non-root user to su w/out being prompted for
a password? For example, from oracle user account, I want to su -
appuser and somehow pass in the passwd. Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks,
Gene
