Problem with sudo
Authored by: karnat10 on May 21, '04 01:43:16PM
This didn't work for me how the original poster wrote it. In order to open a session as the "bubble" user, I had to type:

sudo -u short_name -s
This did actually open a terminal session with the short_name user. The same as su in other unices.

By the way, I think the "correct" name of this concept is neither bubble nor jail, but sandbox.
