Nick Thank you for the feedback.
I discovered that solution of disabling root privileges as you described below. Two other situations to resolve: On boot all other non-essential drives are auto-mounted (XP, W7, Centos partitions). How can I just have a list of drives that I do want mounted or none at all. How to make this happen? The third thing is that I like is the GUI interface for root. Having this is better than forcing root privileges by starting an application that requires gnome to have root privileges and then using gnome as a root gui. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein mailto:[email protected] mailto [email protected] / [email protected] www.itbms.biz --- On Sun, 12/5/10, Nick Sklav <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nick Sklav <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MLUG] The Debian Squeeze version To: "Montreal Linux Users Group" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, December 5, 2010, 12:09 AM > Metacity is not production quality, in my view.

That being said click on system -> preferences -> passwords and encryption keys and just remove the option key or password associated with a program you want it to forget and delete it. _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
