Running a program as root

Comment:

Hi, can I make an icon open a program as root in a normal user mode? So I don;t have to open a terminal and do the su, then program name rigamoral. Possible? Thanks.

if u use kde u can use kdesu "programname -arg1 -arg2 .." if u dont u have to use ssh -X localhost. you might have to make a little shell script to get that to work.

If you want to use the program without typing the root password, do it this way (from a shell): chmod u+s program If you wanted to make `ls' always run as root (Even though that is stupid) you could: chmod u+s /bin/ls
