EXAMPLES

46       beesu - nautilus
47
48       To start nautilus as root.
49
50       beesu -l -P whoami test
51
52       That  will  start  whoami  impersonating  the  user test (note that the
53       root's password is asked, and not test's).  Due to the -P  switch,  all
54       parameters  are  directly  passed  to su(1).  Therefore, the command to
55       execute must be single or double quoted  together  with  its  arguments
56       (but in this case there isn't anything to quote).

FILES

61       /etc/beesu.conf
62              This  is the configuration file for beesu.  This file allows you
63              to restrict the usage of beesu to run only with a specified list
64              of  commands. This may prevent you to run commands that, because
65              of your mistakes, can damage your system.
66

BUGS

68       The command name could be any command. Be careful to not type something
69       that could wipe away your system.
