Rather than make halt/reboot, etc. setuid root or using xsu, etc. I've used ssh to do the dirty work. E.g. my 'halt' command is "ssh localhost -l root halt". That gives a window prompting for the password (with OpenSSH, at least). HTH, Adny -- Personal mail: ad...@ve... Techie mail: mu...@ve... WWW: http://www.verelanthe.co.uk/ |
