Discuss the gnomesu command and how it is used.

What will be an ideal response?


In GNOME you can start any program with a different UID (as long as you know the password), using the gnomesu program.
On the GNOME desktop, open a command line dialog by pressing Alt+F2, then enter gnomesu. You are prompted for the root password. After entering it, a terminal window appears. The path is still that of the user logged in to GNOME; if you need the standard environment for root, enter su - in the terminal window.
You can specify a different user than root and also start a program directly with the following syntax: gnomesu -u user command. If the command is not in the path of the user logged in to GNOME, you have to enter the full path, like gnomesu /sbin/yast2, which starts YaST after the root password is entered.
