Hi Mr(s) Shriramana Sharma
It's Mr. :)
login as root might be dangerous, but some tools provide graphical installers that should to be run as root.
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.
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?
Thanks.

There's also the good old stand-by of "ssh -X -l root localhost". That will take care of the xauth for you and has the advantage of working the same across machines simply by changing localhost to the name of the remote machine. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account near Huntsville, AL
