hmmm you can start a terminal or browser session as root when logged in as a user; what about another user?
my girlfriend often needs to check her email (browser) so would like to start a web browser session as her ("erica"). am using mozilla for browsing, SuSE is v8.
kind regards, todd
Here's what I do (suse 7.2) 1) Press ctrl + alt + F2 (all at the same time) This takes you to tty2 2) at the login prompt type her login name 3) enter her password 4) type startx -- :8 this will start a new x session for her. using her previous window manager You can switch between her session and your own by typing ctrl + alt + F7 (the original x session) ctrl + alt + F8 (the new x session)
