Best way to run a KDE application as another user?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am looking for the best/safest way (if it exists) to set up Fedora
to make it possible for users B, C, etc..., when logged in with their
userid and password, to run one and one only KDE application as if
they were user A. That is, the equivalent of

- opening a terminal
- type su - A
- launch the desided program from the prompt

but "wrapped" so it is either one command one can launche from the
system menu, or from the command line, without "su -" and/or typing
passwords.

I do know about sudo, and if this were for a shell script I'd have no
problem. However, KDE apps need several environment variables around,
kbuildsycoca and all that, so any pointer and comment is welcome.

TIA,
Marco
