Adding GUI authentication check to application launcher

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

 



Hi,


What is the quickest way to invoke the "Query" (ask for root password) window in RHEL5-Client to launch an application with root privileges?


In gnome, I'd like to add a shortcut to nautilus with root privileges. What can I add in front of the nautilus command to manage files quickly as root?


I've found a quick difference with Ubuntu (and others) is they favor the "sudo command" method for authenticating a normal user. RHEL on the other hand uses the more traditional 'su' to get root.


Thanks,
Andrew
