Hello all, I have written a small FLTK app that behaves like kdesu and gnomesu. For those not familiar with those apps, they allow you to run applications as a different user. When run, the fltksu presents you with a dialog box asking for the user's password. If the password is correct, the program is launched.
I have been using it on my server for quite some time now. I only have the fluxbox WM installed on the server because I vnc into my user account. Because of this, I try to minimise the resource usage of my user account and fluxbox is great for that. The advantage I see by using fltksu is that it display almost as fast as I finish hitting the Enter key or selecting a menu item. That said, I'm sure kdesu and gnomesu are more robust. The source tarball is 318.8 KB. I have included a spec file so that a RPM can be built from the source tarball (rpmbuid -ta fltksu.tar.gz) If anyone is interested in this app or know where I can upload it, let me know. Thanks. -- Alvin _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
