<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para>&tdesu; is a graphical front end for the
|
|
&UNIX; <command>su</command> command for the K Desktop Environment.
|
|
It allows you to run a program as different user by supplying the
|
|
password for that user. &tdesu; is an unprivileged program; it uses
|
|
the system's <command>su</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&tdesu; has one additional feature: it can optionally remember passwords
|
|
for you. If you are using this feature, you only need to enter the
|
|
password once for each command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This program is meant to be started from the command line or
|
|
from <filename>.desktop</filename> files.</para>

<listitem><para>This specifies the program to run as root. It has to be passed

in one argument. So if, for example, you want to start a new file manager, you

would enter at the prompt: <userinput><command>tdesu <option>-c <replaceable>kfm

<listitem><para>This option allow efficient use of &tdesu; in

writable by the current user, &tdesu; will execute the command as the

current user. If it is not writable, the command is executed as user

<parameter>user</parameter> (defaults to root).</para>
|
|
<para><parameter>file</parameter> is evaluated like this: if

|
<parameter>file</parameter> starts with a <literal>/</literal>, it is
|
|
taken as an absolute filename. Otherwise, it is taken as the name of a
|
|
global &kde; configuration file. For example: to configure the K display
|
|
manager, <application>tdm</application>, you could issue
|
|
<command>tdesu <option>-c tdmconfig -f
