not only the sudo itself, but you can also log in with a regular [non-root] account, use an Alt-F# key to bring up virtual terminal # (or bring up another terminal in X-windows), log into the second virtual terminal with a regular account, login as superuser 'su -' enter your password, and do what you need to do as root while maintaining your regular account in the first virtual terminal. just another idea.... -- AaronCohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
