But more importantly I must still not be communicating this very well. sudo works fine. There are no problems with sudo. My sudo configuration is as I like it (as described above) and works perfectly with sudo. The bug is that gnomesu and kdesu cannot be configured to prompt for the user's own password (as sudo can) but require the root password regardless of the configuration in /etc/sudoers. the slab I am prompted for the root password. The ideal situation would be if gnomesu / kdesu used sudo and /etc/sudoers so that the system administrator can control what users have what access GUI or CLI from one place and does not need to give the root password to users who are not comfortable with CLI and need to use YaST. I hope that make this more clear.
