Listmates,
Someone more clever than I must surely have solved this. How can I
set through .bashrc or some other more secure way, the ability to
alias "su" with its password so I don't have to type my root password
every time I su. I have a very secure pw that is a bear to type 50
times a day.
alias su='su; <password>' or
alias su='su root <password>' or
alias su='su root; <password>'
Don't work. It almost looks like it would take a separate script
to handle the "Password: " chat that su returns. Does anyone have a
solution for this?
P.S. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/17142.html has a number
of good .bashrc examples.
Another solution may be to use libpam-keyring. It only works for GNOME
logins, and I've only used it under Debian 4.0. You could have a look at
the other PAM modules, too.
