Hi, I often edit some system related files as root while haveing cat-ed related (text-) material as user on another terminal.
Trying to do the following under X and with mrxvt as termulator does not work: sux root <password> vim <a system file> (and as user at another termulator-window"): cat <a file> selecting some text (back to the rooted vim: ) "*p Doing both as user works nicely. Is it possible to Cut(user)'n'Paste(root) somehow? Is this a problem of security settiongs, of permission settings or of me myself ? ;) Ah! by the way: I am running Gentoo linux (updated on a daily basis) and I am using vim via the console (mrxvt termulator) under X. Thanks a lot for any help in advance! Keep editing! mcc
