I understand your issues with all but the last one. A user may need to "sudo su" due to configuration outside of their control. A system that requires you to "sudo su" for some task is likely misconfigured, but it is a useful tool to have around, as a user. The rest are less useful, and generally imply a limited, incomplete, or flawed understanding of one or more of the tools you are using. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
