Anyone know why sux no longer works in SUSE 11 beta 2? It has always been with us in the past.

I now see that sux was a symbolic link to su in 10.3. So apparently this symbolic link has been deprecated in 11.0. Does su automatically know that the user wants permission to envoke as root X applications? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You can check that the permissions are given. Just try "su -" in 10.3 and you will see it works. They simply removed the symlink in 11. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ok, and how do I get su without X auth? su --help is no help. Or is this something one shouldn't be wanting to do?

And what about "sudo". Are there any plans to support X forwarding with "sudo"?

Yes. I reported an issue with sux which made the maintainer of the respective package aware that sux actually should have been removed a while ago. Which he did right away then. :-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Inbound Product Mgmt T +49(911)74053-0 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise F +49(911)74053-483 GF: Markus Rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
