Hi Mailinggroup,

I'm running Fou4S since a few years and I want to say: thanks for this
great tool! Now I'm detecting a problem. When I run Fou4S I get the
following output:

:~>fou4s -i

---------------[ Start ]------------------------

ftp.gwdg.de: Checking [#################################] 100 %
tcsh        6.12.00-453.2 (6.12.00-453  ) [ok] optional       36kb
Installing tcsh-6.12.00-453_453.2.i586.rpm

---------------[ End ]------------------------

And then is nothing more happening (for a few minutes). If I press
<enter> and wait for some more seconds, I get the following output:

---------------[ Start ]------------------------

************************

Why is fou4s making a "su" and how can I solve this? I'm running fou4s
as root, but I think, this has to be the case, correct?

I'm running SuSE 9.2
2.6.8-24.17-default #1 Tue Jul 19 08:56:33 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

And Fou4S: fou4s v0.13.1

Any idea?

Thanks for any help

Christian
