sudo takes care of that , AFAIK.
btw one more simple way is make a login ( say halwa ) with login
shell as /sbin/COMMAND ( or whatever.) make id 0, ( yes that is
root's). just login as halwa on some terminal, and lo COMMANDS
executes safely and securely.
while at it, another question, just like ctrl-alt-del is handled in
inittab, can i make other sequence ( say ctrl-ald-keypad<+> ) handled
in inittab ? what i need is to invoke 'apm --suspend' to force my
green computer to power savning mode.
