You can use chmod to make omset usable only by the user root. You would enable the execution by the owner and disable by people in the group or other. Does that make sense? Type 'man chmod' to set the flags.

I've got situations (both Foxview and DM) where I want the user (either logged in locally or using a X client) to log in as root, and have control. if however, they log in as user ia, I don't want them to be able to get omset enabled. Is this possible? If so, how can I accomplish this? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
