Thanks for the sudo idea... it got me heading in the right direction. I got it all configured, but sudo'ed apps apparently have issues connecting to the X server. So I did some googling on that and ended up finding "xsu", which basically does exactly what I wanted in the first place... you run xsu, and it'll ask for a path, a user, and a pass. Or you can specify any of the three at the command line.
So I have: xsu -u user -c evolution-1.4 It's very awesome. ;-) -Jeff On Thu, 2004-08-05 at 09:59, bp wrote: > On Thu, 5 Aug 2004, Jeff Tickle wrote: > > > The solution I've come up with is to have the one "tickle" account, and > > then a "ron" and "jeanne" that they never have to see.
