Install the sudo package, and put in /etc/sudoers something like bolan ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pon, /usr/bin/poff read the sudo and sudoers man pages for full details, but, with substituting an appropriate username for "bolan", this'll get you going. Basic use has one line for each user, but, as you'll read in the man pages, you can create sudoers groups. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-729-5387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home ph. on req.) http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan RE: xmailtool http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan/xmailtool/index.html RMS of Borg: "Resistance is futile; you shall be freed."
