I almost exclusively use sux to get access to two other non-root accounts I normally use. > Alternative on the sux side would be to create a terminal when an > interactive command is started (e.g. starting an xterm in sux should > work) That would really suck. Besides the fact that the user may want to use any number of terminal emulators besides xterm, it would make it impossible to have two Gnome-Terminal tabs for two different accounts. Plus the main issue is that currently "su -c" breaks the shell's job control (bug #663200). That's an su bug and no amount of hacking in sux can fix that. -- Francois Gouget <[email protected]> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Computers are like airconditioners They stop working properly if you open WINDOWS
