I have to go along with this. A startup screen with CD-Roast says that it has to run under root.
$ sux # xcdroast &
will cure that for you. Unless you want to do what it suggests, and set the xcdroast binaries suid.
I must also confess that I am lazy and don't like switching so I would prefer to just stay in root.
It's a bit like that whole seatbelt business - you save some time by not using it until ... remember your web-browsers are now running with root privileges ...
All of this sounds great but it still does not work with opening a simple app like konqueror. I tried: kdesu konqueror $ sux password # konqueror etc. etc. I still get a lot of activity then nothing. The only error I get is this when running sux: DCOPServer up and running. //usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so: Feature JPEG already defined in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so! //usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so: Feature MNG already defined in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so! mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding /tmp/mcop-dhcolesj is not owned by user When I do the kdesu thing, I get nothing. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
