Create a user ID that is in the su doer's group that can ONLY execute a single script and logs itself out. That script would make the changes you need: 1) Set TV if you want TV, or 2) Set normal CRT mode if you want the monitor; lastly 3) HUP the 'gdm' (or whatever you use) The script is normally called from the user's .bashrc or .profile A while back I had set my daughters login to disable the route to the Internet -- didn't want her to surf if I wasn't around/available to help her. -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting
