Can anyone tell me how to do a login (local) with out providing a
pasword?

The situation is basicall this:  I often wish to go from my job's
account to my class account.... if it is temporary I use "su" or
more genarally an "rlogin" to the same machine so as to not have to
provide a password (via a ".rhosts" file). However, is there a way to do
the login command (or some other) such as to go from one account to
the next and KILL the previous login in such a way where a password
will not be required?


THanx in advance...
