vish | jbicha: why is gksu nautilus better than gksudo nautilus ? (curious) | 08:22 |
---|---|---|
vish | (noticed it in your docs update) | 08:23 |
jbicha | um, I read the man page and gksu seemed smarter | 08:25 |
jbicha | it is at least shhorter | 08:25 |
jbicha | shorter | 08:25 |
vish | jbicha: hmm, the only benefit i see is that gksu offers a prompt if we dont specify a command | 08:34 |
vish | but we do mention nautilus here.. | 08:35 |
jbicha | vish: yeah they basically do the same thing, but one's shorter | 08:36 |
jbicha | vish: I'm actually a bit surprised you noticed the change since it's not been committed yet | 08:37 |
vish | ;) | 08:37 |
vish | jbicha: shorter ;p , i think sudo is more preferable since the sudoers file and all | 08:38 |
jbicha | vish: you mean you think they don't do the same thing? | 08:38 |
vish | jbicha: /etc/sudoers is used by sudo, but i dont think su user it, a lot of options are set there.. | 08:39 |
vish | s/user/users | 08:40 |
vish | err, uses* | 08:40 |
micahg | jbicha: we should be using gksudo since we don't encourage running as root | 08:40 |
jbicha | but sudo is root and su uses /etc/sudoers | 08:41 |
vish | su is root but sudo can specify which users can be root | 08:43 |
micahg | sudo runs a single command as root, su leaves you in a root shell | 08:43 |
jbicha | micahg: do you agree that gksudo is better? | 08:44 |
jbicha | http://askubuntu.com/questions/21033/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-and-gksu | 08:46 |
micahg | yeah, it seems like I have the gconf key set, idk if that's the default or not though, with that key set, there's no practical difference unless you use other flags | 08:48 |
micahg | so, while practically there is no difference, people might wonder about it | 08:50 |
vish | hmm, looks like we dont have the package gksudo??!! but there is kdesudo | 09:01 |
vish | maybe the symlink is because it aint packaged? /me looks deeper | 09:02 |
micahg | vish: it's all provided by gksu | 09:02 |
vish | oh! | 09:02 |
micahg | vish: both backends are provided by libgksu | 09:03 |
micahg | err, both backends can be used by libgksu | 09:03 |
vish | yea, seems so. | 09:03 |
vish | ah ha! while it is a symlink, they do different things | 09:08 |
vish | gksu != gksudp | 09:08 |
vish | gksudo* | 09:08 |
vish | yea, the gconf set as sudo seems to be the default.. i have the same thing here.. | 09:11 |
micahg | vish: yeah, which makes them effectively equal by default | 09:12 |
vish | yea, equal but it is not really su , hence the users will wonder as you say :D | 09:13 |
