I'm confused: just22@poseidon:[~]> sudo su -s /bin/sh root -c date Sat Oct 18 07:21:40 CEST 2014 just22@poseidon:[~]> su -s /bin/sh root -c date su: only the superuser may specify a login shell (this is really weird). Moreover, using the following: #define SUCMD "-fn 7x14 -geometry 60x4 -e su root -c 'nohup xfe >/dev/null 2>&1 & sleep 1'" xfe correctly opens the password's window, but the echo is active during typing... (the same doesn't happen when I use sudo). It's just me? -- Alessandro DE LAURENZIS [mailto:just22....@gmail.com] LinkedIn: http://it.linkedin.com/in/delaurenzis
