Yes. I have an icon on my panel that lauches with the following command: xterm -e su - root That makes it easy for me to open a root sheel at any time. Since I normally use gnome-terminal with white text on a black background, the xterm (black text on white background) stands out and reminds me that it's a root shell. Tony -- Anthony E.
