You can use sudo(btw gksu has a nice GUI). It's abit slow(typing the password and stuf) but it works for using all root-owned files/ process. Another way is to add your developer users in the root group and chmod 770 all the files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
