user using another user

Smokey · 07-13-2004, 04:13 AM

Is it possible for me to be logged into one user and open up bash and loginto another user? Im sorry if my english is not clear.

For example:

I am logged in the account where my REAL name is. But to IRC and whatnot from a shell, I would like to use another username account(smokey).

Thank you for any help
