Hello, I'm working on a ROR app that allows users to track batch computing jobs submitted to our high performance computing clusters. Anyway, a piece of functionality to that application is an online file browser to the server. Net, I have a need to authenticate users to the Server's OS (I was thinking using Net:SSH). Then, once authenticated, I'd like to run some ruby commands as that user vs. the 'non-priviledged user the webserver is running under. Is this possible? Any ideas?
