Asking for sudo when a program starts (visually)

[mitchy_g]

Hi,
I am wondering how I can ask the user of a program to input the password for 'sudo' when it is needed at startup or whenever. Much like when Synaptic is started from the top menu bar, it brings up a small dialog asking for the password.

Thanks
Mitch :)

Use "gksudo".

23meg,
Thanks for you reply, do you have any idea how to use gksudo from another program in C, im using gtk to create the application.

Thanks Again
Mitch
