- Since I, like no doubt many others, don't like logging in as root more
- often than necessary for pure administration, I tend to get a bit behind
- in the installation of new software to go in /LocalApps or somewhere
- else...
-
- Is there any way of launching a FileViewer with setuid root privs? I am
- getting tired of su'ing and manually cp'ing things from a /tmp directory
- and checking permissions and so on.
-
- If it doesn't exist, maybe it should.
