Description David Rankin 2008-11-20 06:09:07 UTC
Developers,

    After using visudo to enable sudo without password for members of the wheel group, KDE4 still prompts for root password for kde control center Administrator mode, one-click installs, and to start yast, among other things. It is not until you use kwriteconfig does it straighten out. The workaround is:

kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo

    entered as your regular user and then kdesudo will handle everything OK -- no more root password prompts. Can this be fixed for 11.1? Thanks.

It is kdesu, not kdesudo.

Lubos,

	Thank you for looking into the above concerning 11.1 Beta5. I see that it was marked as a "DUPLICATE of bug 400903" and that bug 400903 applied to openSuSE 11.0 and was closed as "RESOLVED  WONTFIX".

	Also, in closing the bug you write "It is kdesu, not kdesudo." Does that mean kdesu is fixed for 11.1 or does it mean I need to open another bug against kdesu before it will be addressed? Thanks for your help.
