A script SuSE hacked together to replace/reinforce su. If you use sux instead of su you can run graphical programs without bothering with "xhost" or other methods.
Another possibility is using ssh with X forwarding, i.e. something like 'ssh -X root@localhost' . Now if you put your public key into roots .ssh/authorized_keys, you get root login without the need for a password :) Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de
