Thank you.
I'm not sure but I don't think you can supply your password on the command line to su. But I would advise you to have a look at 'sudo'. It takes a little more effort but with this you can configure your system to give you the necessary permissions without too much hassle. Read the manpage and if that doesn't help (I seem to recall it's all a bit complicated) just google around a bit I'm sure you'll find some good tutorials. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
