You can do something like this: xterm -T "Root Shell" -bg orange -e su -l root & after answering the question about your password you get your shell. I use different background colors for different accounts (news being the other one I sometimes use). BTW: I prefer using "ssh -l root localhost" instead of the su because it automatically establing a connection to my xserver. With su you had to set DISPLAY manually and either use xauth or xhost to gain access to the xserver. Torsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
