Analog to the last post, this is another one that fits into the “old brain”-category.

When executing commands as another user, then sudo is your friend.

Of course, one needs to authenticate correctly. But in day-to-day work it is tedious having to provide the password all the time.

The sudo-command can be made "passwordless" by using a tool called visudo.
