It's called sux and there's hardly anything easier to use:
jw@suse3:~/security > sux
Password:
suse3:/home/jw/security # kcron
Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":3.0".
no crontab for bin
no crontab for daemon

Yes, and I recommended sux to you about a week ago Kees. Did you even try it? If you don't like that, you can chmod u+s /opt/kde2/bin/kcron. Or whereever your kcron is. This is not secure, but you can do it. John
Due to the 8.4Gb drive in my server dying, I managed to get a pair of 40Gb's. Originally the server was built up over time, and had the following; /dev/hda 6.4 /dev/hdb 13 /dev/hdc 8.4 /home was on the 13, so it's safe, and it's the 8.4 that has died. Question: Am I better leaving the 6.4 as the boot drive, dedicating one 40 to /home, and the other to the rest of the fs, or remove the 6.4 altogether ? What partitioning (apart from /home) would you suggest ?

kdesu kcron This works great if you want to make an icon or menu entry. In fact, you'll find that a lot of apps requiring root (ie: YaST2, Xcdroast) in SuSE's KDE menu will do just this. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8VVzi+FOexA3koIgRAp7dAJ9v3x0uUQL+gtfmtnDXOc9Dt3ilKACgrZYZ jbgWQ3O1z/TjlYz7w5ymcZA= =x7D7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
