Thanks, but I wish to make clear that I don't want to do stuff like browse the net as root. Just pop in, do stuff with YaST, pop out, and back to user account before touching the net.
Logging in as root, doing some stuff, logging out and logging in as user to do the rest is much to complicated IMHO. That's what sux is for.
To do this i enter 'sux root' in a terminal window, and then i start that tool.
Is there a difference between su and sux?
su won't allow you to start graphical programs. One could "fix" that by hand but sux takes care of all that automatically.
