Unles I have misunderstood this completely sudo is NOT "a temporary log in as root". It let's you execute a command as another user, MOST COMMONLY as root. > > From sudo man page: > (...) > -u > > The -u (user) option causes sudo to run the specified command as a user > other than root. > (...) >
However, bpa might still have a point, but I'm totaly stuck on how to practicaly DO this. Squeezecenter seems to run under the user "squeezecenter", but I can't get my system to allow login to this account. I've given it a password, changed standard shell from /bin/false to /bin/bash and even added the user to all the groups that my main user account is a member of; still no luck. If I try to log in as "squeezecenter" I just get a message that "the system administrator has disabled your account". After setting the shell to /bin/bash I don't get this message, but I'm just thrown out in a fraction of a seccond. (And still I can't see why it should even make a difference from running it with the "sudo -u" command.) I have no .asoundrc file on my system. -- johanneswh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johanneswh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19033 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
