this would be like working as root - and nobody wants to do that.
I do not agree. If I start, say, firefox, I am not working as root. And, if I launch synaptic, I am already aware that I am working as root with synaptic.
Gnome has this capability, of storing the root password for all the applications during the session.
Why do you have so many programs that you have to run as root?
I somewhat agree here. But, if I launch firestarter, synaptic and a konsole as root, why enter the root password three times? I am already aware that I am working as root with those programmes.
Did you have a
look at sudo?
I use Debian, so I do su . I really do not understand why Ubuntu prefers sudo before su
Thank you,
David
