I'm wondering whether clicking the [root] buttons within ths control center uses an encrypted logon or whether it transmits the password via plain text. I havn't searched out the SuSE website for this information but I can if noone wants to volunteer the answer.
Are you talking about a remote X session? If yes, then I do recommend tunneling it (ssh -X -C). That root button uses kdesu, which is a frontend to su, and runs locally on the box. I hope that answers your question. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
