Run as root -- why not? Be careful. Limit PATH. Keep the cat off the keyboard. (This can be pesky if you're using vi at the time.) Open a root xterm, make the background some weird color, use a font and size you don't normally use. You might try setting a deadman to log it out automatically after N seconds of inactivity at the prompt. (man ksh, see the TMOUT variable). Set window-manager attributes so it's "always on top" and can't be "shaded" or "iconified" if you want to be paranoid. Measure twice, cut once; you know the drill. Dave
