Hi Per,

"sux" is already installed on your system. It's a core utility. In a shell,
"sux --help" tells a little (stress "little") more.

Ken's instructions were telling you to manually launch your program from a
shell, as root, using sux:

"sux {program-name} {root password}"

hth & regards,

Carl
