David ... Personally, I try to code for more robust behaviour, but I cannot fault SuSE too much here. It is fair for INIT scripts to expect the superuser's environment to have been established. And you are right, LOOK AT THE CODE before turning 'sudo' loose. Rob ... Consider what Kris said about the '-i' flag on 'sudo'. I am NOT a fan of 'sudo', but I believe it will give the granular control needed for this case and do so without undue exposure. What else would you suggest? We could hack something quickly in C. (Heck, I have C code somewhere that I would gladly contribute!) But the maint would be a pain, so 'sudo' seems the best fit. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
