"Run as Root"
Hei
I came across a neat little 'KDE improvement' called "Run as Root" on KDE-Look.org today, which puts an "Open as Root" icon on Konqueror's right-click menu popup when you are using the File Management view... it was exactly what I wished for earlier in the day, when I had to logout & then in again as root, to edit fstab.
There are no doubt other ways, in which case I would be happy to hear of them..
regards

Open a console window (the shell icon on a monitor in the taskbar) then type in su and enter key you will then be asked for the root password type it in and enter key again you can then open any file you want for editing as root in that console window.

su never asks for a password!
Am I doing something wrong? When I type it never asks for a password.
If I type then I can enter a root password, but it does not ask me again for it, when I exit and re-enter su.
What is the correct and safe way of su-ing?
