How To Run A Program Like Konqueror With Other Credentials(like Root) In Linux?
Author: admin // Category: Linuxwell,this is the problem ,using Fedora core 6 sometimes i need to mount one of my windows partition so that i can copy some files there and access them under windows(i have win and linux both on one harddrive),i mount that partition using su
command but when i try to copy files to newly created folder in (/mnt/win for example) it say that you can’t write on this partition,is there a way i can run a file browser program like Konqueror with root credentials so that i can copy my files
in a graphical environment,in the past that i used another distro (or maybe other version of fedora)that i can’t remember it’s name i could right click on the Konqueror icon and there was an option for running as other users but it seems that there is no such thing in current distro …
many thanks in advance

Yeah…I’m having a similar problem with FC5 and a VFAT drive that it can’t write to. Maybe someone can help us out…

Set up a mount point in /etc/fstab for the windows files using the noauto,user,rw options. If they are ntfs, by the way, you can not write to them, they need to be fat32. Set the permissions for /mnt/win to 777. This way it will allow you to mount as a user, and read and write the files the same. Do a cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old before editing, this backup is essential if you make a mistake.
