Just run "system-config-date" without sudo. (As previously noted, you can set up consolehelper to make this prompt authorized users to authenticate with their own password.) 2. Run sudo /usr/share/system-config-date/system-config-date.py 3. Build sudo with "--with-secure-path=/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin"; run "sudo system-config-date". The whole "bring up a gnome-terminal running as root (and not just the shell, the whole app!)" thing seems like a subversion of the major benefits of sudo anyway. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
