Is there any standard way (that applies to all Linux distributions), a
GUI application (X.Org/Gnome/KDE) to ask for the root password so as to
execute with root priviledges?
Software examples that do this:
Synaptic at Ubuntu.
Yumex at Fedora.
I am writing a free and open source program
(http://www.cpp-software.net/software.html), and I call Ubuntu's
"gksudo" from within the program, but I prefer a portable way that
applies to all Linux with X.Org distributions.
Thanks. |
