Let me see if I understand this correctly, if I give an executable owned by root a permission 775 then any member of the root group would be able to use that executable same as root. Is that correct? How would I set up a GUI front end (for a command line executable that can only be run by root) so that a password dialog comes requesting the root password? -- Jack Gates http://www.jlgates.com
