Are you interested in the run-as-user functionality for consolehelper I suggested in your blog comments? I'd hate to see yet another duplication of the how-to-let-regular-users-auth-for-higher-privs wheel. It seems like consolehelper has pretty much everything that's required for that part of the process, except as it stands, it only can execute things as root rather than running programs as your suggested unprivileged "system user". -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
