Dear Neil,

Are there any other replacements for gksu please?


I'm not familiar with gksu, but if you are using GNOME it is possible to
access root-owned files by using a special prefix to the file's path.

With Gedit (the GNOME text editor), for example, you can press 'open' at
the top left, then 'other documents' to bring up the file selection
window. From here you can press Ctrl+l to bring up an 'address bar',
into which the special address goes.

admin:///etc/fstab

Thanks. In the end I used admin. I had tried it already but must havemis-typed something. When I was more careful it worked.


Neil
