disable prompting for password

[Jenny John]

Everytime when i su - i am prompted for password. For ex. if i am login as oracle and i su - oracle it will prompt for password.
Is there any method to enable one time authenication.

The only time you would not be prompted for a password is if you 'su - ' while root. Otherwise, it will always prompt for a password.

Is there any way to disable it.

Hi Jenny:

> Is there any way to disable it.

No, not if you are using 'su'. Only if you are running as the 'root' user does 'su - username' not prompt for a password.

Sure, don't put a password on the account you are su'ing to. ;)
