Description Mathias Hasselmann 2007-02-06 22:41:22 UTC

From time to time it's required to gain enhanced user privileges. Unfortunatly Freedesktop platforms differ in the way how to gain privileges. Some platforms allow you to use the sudo command, others depend on su. Considering the large number of platforms and the large flexibility in the configuration of sudo and su a portland tool for gaining enhanced privileges is required.

There's a xdg-su in cvs, so that would fix it :-)
