[p4] Remotely reverting a file?

[Zarnes, Todd]

It's Friday.  Used p4 set P4HOST=bldl0111111 and I was able to revert the
open file from my workstation.

Rusty,
Anyway to bypass having to be logged onto the users host computer before
performing these actions?  I run then steps you outlined below and I get:

"Client 'RogerXP' can only be used from host 'bldl0111111'."

If you use the p4 login command to login in as a super user first, you can
then run the p4 login <user> command to create a login ticket for that user
without knowing their password. The server will not prompt for the password
since you already have a login ticket as the super user.

After that, you can set P4USER=<the users id>, set P4CLIENT=<the users
client>, then run p4 revert on the file.

Thanks, 
Rusty

Is there an easy admin command that will revert a file without having to
delete the user's clientspec or invade their local machine?
 
For example, an engineer checks out a file and doesn't check it back in
before going on vacation. Another engineer needs to work on that file and
asks me as the SuperUser to revert it. Is there a way for me to do this with
out 1) Changing users password and logging into his machine and reverting
via the client, or 2) Deleting his clientspec, thus reverting all files he
has checked out.
 
Both of those options seem really obtrusive. I've looked through the docs
and don't see an alternative.
