Sorry, didn't send this to the list yes, you are correct and KDE gives a nice warning when you set the suid bit... so it has to be 0755 I actually am having problems with kceckpass now, it's telling me that perfectly valid passwords are invalid... Anders Johansson wrote:

Did you run harden_suse or something similar? /opt/kde3/bin/kdesktop_lock should have permission 4755 just like su to be able to unlock the screen..
That sounds like a security risk to me. Doesn't kdesktop_lock run the screensaver? All a user would have to do is to install his own screensaver, properly made of course :), and he'd be root.
/opt/kde3/bin/kcheckpass on the other hand should be suid
