Oliver,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>you can not change mankind :-) There will always be those who think
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that they need root access all the time. I worked as a Unix sysadmin
|
|
<BR>
|
|
and I rarely log in as root into a machine because I know what can go
|
|
<BR>
|
|
wrong.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>So just give them what they are asking for, but don't make it too
|
|
<BR>
|
|
easy:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Just add a command line switch that let's the user run xsane as root.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
If this switch is not there generate an error message telling the user
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that what they are trying to do is dangerous and that you will not
|
|
<BR>
|
|
accept any problem reports from that. Then tell them how they can
|
|
<BR>
|
|
run xsane as root.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>In addition to that I would create a warning window everytime somebody
|
|
<BR>
|
|
tries to start the program as root.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Karl Heinz
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P><PRE>
