Hi;
I have tried several variations of the following script and googled for
some clues. No joy.
#! /bin/bash
# Open nautilus as root
#
sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser
if zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text
then echo $?
else echo "No password entered"
fi
# End
sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser works on the command line.
Why doesn't this sudo script using zenity work??
Because you need sudo to read the password passed by zenity on stdout.
So you have to do:
zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text \
| sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser
then control the return code of sudo to check that the password
entered was correct.
