Isn't one of the advantages of sudo that it is temporary - it logs you back out of root privileges automatically after a period of inactivity (after 15 minutes by default in Debian; after 5 minutes in Ubuntu)? Some see this as a useful fail-safe. (And you can change the default timeouts if you wish). _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
