[Bug 346759] New: KDESU: No longer accepts root password
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346759 Summary: KDESU: No longer accepts root password Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: linux@sdprice.plus.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer After a period of using SuSE 10.3 (and installing various packages) I have ended up in the situation where kdesu no longer accepts the root password with: "Incorrect password; please try again" I can happily run su from the command line (using root password); but am unable to get kdesu to accept the same password. This has now been seen on 2 totally different machines, both running SuSE 10.3 GM. Unfortunately, I'm not sure when kdesu stopped working. I'm pretty sure it worked just after the virgin install. All installed packages came from the approved repositories (i.e. those provided in 'community repositories' yast2 dialog) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, kdesu soes not accept *any* of the passwords defined on this system 2. Yes I have modified /etc/sudoers to allow some web-based apps limited access to some scripts. I have also allowed all users root access to 'build' I've attached the sudoers file (with commented out sections removed) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've tried stepping back line by line, but I can only get it to work with the original settings. I really need to be able to support both: I use yast2 a lot (hence the kdesu), but I also use sudo to run the SuSE build (for rpm creation). I also use my webserver as a gui for in-house maintenance tasks which require the logged in web user to be able to perform specific tasks as a particular user. Is there any other information I can supply? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In 11.0 this is the default again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 216796 *** https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216796 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
