Can admin post comments on the name of registered users?

I know that admin (user 1) can post node on the name of registered users at Authoring information but is there a similar way that admin (user 1) can post comment on the name of registered users.
I'm looking for this as well.

I guess masquerade would enable this in a global way. It's (this feature) not common or useful enough to be in core right now though.

Thanks dman, yes masquerade
Thanks dman, yes masquerade did the job...I wanted to know if it is also possible to change the comment authored on date. I know it can be changed from admin/content/comment/new but I wanted to change the date when posting the comment itself, otherwise i have to first post the comment and then go to admin/content/comment/new to change the date.
Actually, I'm converting my completely messy website to drupal6 and I've to do some old comment posts of users by myself.

no idea, sorry

Thank you, I knew of
Thank you, I knew of Masquerade but I'm interested in a way easier way to add comments AS any user. Or AS a specified number of users.
The feature I've in mind is like, for those who already witnessed it, when you're using the DRIGG module, you can submit scoops (nodes) AS any user you previously specified.
It's an handy feature when you want to populate your site with nodes to make it look like it's active, to get the ball rolling.
Unfortunately Drigg doesn't provide the same feature for comments.

Yes, it's built into Drupal 6
I'm not sure if this works in Drupal 5, but in Drupal 6, you can post a comment as admin. You cannot change the Authoring information and timestamp at the time of the comment creation. But you can modify that information after the comment has already been created. After posting the comment as admin, click "edit" to edit the comment you just created. You will see the "Administration" section rolled up. Click on it and the form will expand. Then you can change the "Authored by" and "Authored on" fields. Good Luck.
