           Summary: Validate command line arguments before asking for root
                    password
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Feature Request
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: evraire AT tuwg.com


I think it would be nice if the command line arguments were validated before
prompting the user for the root password.  Otherwise a user is prompted for 
the
root password only to see the help information.  For example, as a non-root, 
try
the following:
   cast --black

Obviously that option doesn't exist.  What happens is cast will prompt you for
the root user, show you the usage agreement then drop you back to the prompt 
as
a regular user.  It's a little annoying, when I could have gotten the same
information without using the root password.  It also means I have to enter 
the
root password a second time (assuming I get it right the next time).

Please let me know if I'm not making myself clear enough.  In any case, this 
is
a "nice-to-have" change, there's no rush.
