Temporary Root Authroization For Gnome

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there a way that as my normal user (crute.michael) I can authorize Gnome as root. What I am talking about is something like running system tools as a regular user, you put in your root password and you can run the tool but when the tool shuts down if "forgets" that authorization. I would like to be able to do this with Gnome so that the file manager can run as root until I tell it to "forget the user authorization". Right now I have two alternatives, log in to Gnome as root or use a command prompt neither of which I want to do. Does anyone know how to do this?

Windows Computers manufactured by companies such as Dell, Compaq, HP, and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million machines in use worldwide. Linux fans, on the other hand, may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form. -- NY Times
