[RB] Algorithm Issue

[codemonkey]

i have been trying to figure out forever how to get root authentication via RB without going into a shell
example of doing it using shell:

dim mShell as new shell
mShell.Mode=1
mShell.Execute "echo myPassword | sudo -S su login root"

This leads to all kinds of security holes and problems though.

Below is a link to the current algorithm, it is almost fully functional. The issue i am having is with it handling a string the user inputs and passing it on to the shell

Check the RB algorithm here

Could be that the root password you're using is not the right password. Try the command in Terminal, see what errors it brings up.

nah checked that. i think it might have to do with the carriage return but the mShell.WriteCHR(13) should have done that
