Since I, like no doubt many others, don't like logging in as root more often than necessary for pure administration, I tend to get a bit behind in the installation of new software to go in /LocalApps or somewhere else... Is there any way of launching a FileViewer with setuid root privs? I am getting tired of su'ing and manually cp'ing things from a /tmp directory and checking permissions and so on. If it doesn't exist, maybe it should. Scott
