[ale] Can SFTP do this

[Jim Kinney]

Ugh. Short answer is yes.

I'm pretty sure you could hack this with PAM but that risks security
issues later.

I would solve this with a single home dir and a triplet of alternate
users, one for each host.

Set up a .bashrc with the following last line for the incoming user:

sudo /usr/local/bin/awkward_user

And /usr/local/awkward_user is:
#!/bin/bash
su - $(who |grep $USER | awk '{print $5}' | sed 's/[()]//g' |awk -F '.'
'{print $1}')

Add the user to the sudoers file with ability to run
/usr/local/bin/awkward_user with no password

Modify the $() scriptlet as needed to isolate the incoming hostname as
a new user name.

Or just use a trio of folders and a cd.

NOTE: I've not done anything intelligent for the exit from this.
