Hello list I have a problem with kde on my new SuSE 10.2. It worked during the first days after install, and this curious behaviour appeared after an upgrade : whenever I try to launch yast2, or the file manager in superuser mode I give the root password and get a message saying it is a wrong password.
It must be a kde problem : I can open a console, su to root and launch these services manually. The root password is good. Here is one the messages I get after each failure

Looks like your sudoers file is corrupted. This happened to me after installing SMB4K on a PC. You will need to use visudo to fix it. In my case the commented sections got uncommented.
Thanks, James, I could find a way of restoring things by copying the sudoer file of another machine, see my previous message, and now it works as well as before the update. In fact several lines had disappeared from the sudo file. -- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 10.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
