<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am developing a control panel applet
and want to configure IP address from the applet using </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ifup eth0 command. But I am not able to execute
this command as it needs root permission to execute </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the command.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am running the command from
applet using system command.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>system("ifup eth0"). I also tried to execute
following script from control panel applet</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sudo gainroot</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ifup eth0</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but it did not work, it changes to root shell but
ifup runs in old shell.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Any idea, how to get avoid this permission
problem ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best Regards,</FONT></DIV>
