The wife hates anything that looks like UNIX or command lines or passwords. Is there any way I can have her press a button on one box to run a program on another box?
The short answer is yes. RPC, Java RMI, CORBA etc are various methods that come to mind. I know nothing of kdesu. Can you give an example of what you'd like to accomplish?
Sure, I would like to make it easy for her to run kppp from a different box by just selecting an icon.
Use kinternet/smpppd, it has a client/server design that is intended for just this type of use. That way she gets a nice systray icon she can click to connect just as she would if she were on the machine with the modem
