ah, now i see. root, OR the user already logged in, can do that. OTHER users CAN'T. and funny enough, it's ANOTHER user i WANT to do it for. i've looked at a few things like pam_console and console.perms and my eyes quickly go fuzzy. is any of that near the right track? is there a simple solution? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
