What I am talking about is something like running system </TT> <TT>tools as a regular user, you put in your root password and you can run </TT> <TT>the tool but when the tool shuts down if "forgets" that authorization. I </TT> <TT>would like to be able to do this with Gnome so that the file manager can </TT> <TT>run as root until I tell it to "forget the user authorization". Right </TT> <TT>now I have two alternatives, log in to Gnome as root or use a command </TT> <TT>prompt neither of which I want to do. Does anyone know how to do this?</TT> <TT>-Mike</TT> <TT>-- </TT> <TT>------------------------------------------------------------------------</TT> <TT>*Michael E.
