Comment(by sascha_silbe):

 Replying to [comment:8 mchua]:

 > mchua at sunjammer:~$ sudo su soas
 Please try
 {{{
 sudo -u soas -i
 }}}
 to get an interactive login shell or
 {{{
 sudo -u soas echo foobar
 }}}
 to run a single command as user soas.

 Running
 {{{
 sudo su soas
 }}}
 means using two different tools to do exactly the same thing twice (just
 with different users - first root, then soas). It would require us to
 grant root access, even if just intermediate. There were some nice
 vulnerabilities in login et al. in the past that used a similar attack
 vector.
