Description Mark Thomas 2002-08-17 18:16:31 UTC

SuSE and other distros ship with the "sux" wrapper around su, which allows you
to become root and still use X.

I think this should be part of gentoo, too.

I don't have time for this one...

Please try sux-1.0 - just put into CVS. Not sure how to handle the missing version number of this package, so I just called it 1.0.
