Xcdroast

[Sylvain Petreolle]

Igor,
I have the same setup and dont think that allowing SYSTEM access as
passwordless
is a good idea. And this procedure needs a running sshd and/or inetd.

The reason why we need a "su root" is because xcdroast must be run as
root first to enable the ability to run it as as normal user.

Anyway, I think this can be done via getting it from a linux box and
doing a chown on it. Will try it and post the result.
