I have a script that works for me. I am using Fedora 7 and it worked on
FC6. I can't see how opensuse would make a difference. All the
commands are at the bash and Gnome level.
#! /bin/bash
# Open nautilus as root
# file name: RootBrowse
# -K starts new timestamp for sudo
sudo -K
zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your user _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text |sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser \
1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
if [ "$?" != 0 ]; then
zenity --error --text="Sorry, wrong password"
exit 1
fi
# End
N.B. Be sure to change sudoers default, as root, so that "Defaults
requiretty" is commented out otherwise script fails trying to give you a
new tty. See example below.
# Defaults specification
#
# Disable "ssh hostname sudo <cmd>", because it will show the password
in clear.
# You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo <cmd>".
# "Ignore above comments for local machine."
# Defaults requiretty
