Hello Mentors,
since some times I am coding a debconf util which use Xdialog as
interface. Exactly, on startup it present a list of all packages
which can be configured with debconf and then the $USER select
the desired package and configure it using Xdialog.
Prob.: I check for "root" and if it is not the current
$USER, I want to 'su' the 'xdebconf'.
Q 1: How can I do this? (I do not want to use sudo
because I want, $USER enter the right password.)
or is there another 'su' command which support
file-descriptors like GPG?
Q 2: How to avoid permission problems on $DISPLAY
(root can not start a program on $USER x-window)
Greetings
