I assumed he meant login as root into the GUI, something       I       haven't done in probably well over a year. If ever on some of the computers.        I       tend to, depending on how much I wanna type at it, either:       1. Do a Ctrl-Alt F1 and login to the terminal window as root. I'll do this       from a reboot often, without being logged into the GUI as me, since the       computer       is about as static as it'll ever get.       2. Do a "su -" from a console.       3. Use sudo. Often done in really simple bash scripts.       It all depends. Options 2 & 3 work well on a ssh connect to another computer.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
