Hi,
Thanks to the few who replied. It helped to confirm that it cannot be
done without compromising
the root password or user password. Suggested workarounds involved using
"sudo" / rsh / rlogin etc.

Original Q:
Hi,
Is it possible to su as myself (a normal user) to myself without getting
prompted for password?
Is there some setting you need to make in order to do that?
