MacOS X does that with the wheel group, so that for any superuser-requiring action from the control-panel-like thing, it'll prompt you for your password using sudo and some magical Aqua wrapper. It's quite nifty. I found /etc/sudoers on there when I was seeing how this strange new OS worked and noticed my user had been added to the wheel group and that wheel had full sudo access. I began wondering why linux distros didn't do that :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
