For 'su', see . Installing and configuring "openssh" with 'ssh-host-config' and 'ssh-user-config' would allow you to use 'ssh' as a replacement for 'su' in interactive situations. Installing the "cron" package and configuring it 'cron-config' to run under a privileged user account (i.e. SYSTEM in your case) would allow it to execute other users' crontabs. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
