Hi All,

I found that when I use gnomesu to start an app as root, it does not use root's environment, but my own.

For example, if I start gnome-terminal as root, using gnomesu, the root terminal has my $USER, $HOME, $LOGUSER, etc variables.

How can I get gnomesu to run the application in root's environment?

There is not man for gnomesu and Google does not give much.

Thanks --

Hi, I take it there is a reason why you can't just use: "sux -" in a terminal, and then after logging in, starting the application as "root." ??? Whatever!!! You might try: "gnomesux -" and see what environment it gives you.
