enable users to run desktop's application

[perrone]

Hi,

how can i enable one user to run one desktop application that was originally installed by a root user?

when i try to launch one desktop application from icon linked to the binary (like /usr/sbin/pptpconf ) ... i get one error: Permission denied

anybody know how can i solve this?

thanks a lot

Probably you need to set permission by "chmod +x oneApplication".

Hi,

thanks for the answer...
i check the directory where a binary application is hosted, and i thinks that it is ok:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2007-01-22 01:58 /usr/sbin/pptpconfig -> /usr/bin/pptpconfig.php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60206 2006-03-14 07:49 /usr/bin/pptpconfig.php

but when a look at the root's directory, i found a desktop link:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=PPTP Client
Comment=Configure and start PPTP tunnels (VPN)
Categories=System;Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Base;
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=gnomesu -t "Query" -c "/usr/sbin/pptpconfig" -m "Please supply the root password."
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/pptpconfig.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.10

so i copy this to user's desktop directory ....This configuration requires the root's password when i try to launch whit another user

The application works fine(in this case pptpconfig) when launch from a terminal with a root logged. But due to security questions i can't permit that one simple user run this link with password informed in this file.
