Another option is login
Authored by: googoo on Mar 16, '04 01:40:23PM

You can also use the login command in a terminal session:

% login other_username

You will be prompted for the user's password, and the terminal session will switch to the other user's account. The difference between login and su is that login does not return to the original account after exiting. (The process just ends as if the other user logged out of a regular terminal session.)
