Unfortunatly there is no real alternative, other then running it as root. I like to run things as little as root as possible.
I know, I know you have to do somethings in the script as root. It is not possible to enter the mounts in fstab beforehand, because the exact mount points and files are not known at that moment
On the other hand, you are the first, and so far only, person who complained about this.
I'm not complaining, I'm just mentioning a problem. It maybe because most people do not even know that SuSE configured sudo be default in a nonsecure way and didn't even look at it. The default is an "easy" default.
Due to the fact that you might need to enter you rootpassword twice, I might be willing to let it be run as root.
The other possibility would be to think what config line(s) could be set up in the sudoers file so that the script could run as "user". It might be possible. I haven't looked it up because first I would have to study the script and find out what exact commands does it need, and because it was faster for me to simply "su" and run it as root. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEX8VBtTMYHG2NR9URAli7AJ4wOiIwKWQVubgbOFcbHLGLQiFMmQCeLMqa SWVKyDnJnlaoQZmvRl5EOas= =WQ8F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
