https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340311 Summary: kdesu should name the user whose password is being requested Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: carlos.lange@ualberta.ca QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- When /etc/sudoers is modified to authenticate with user's password, kdesu also authenticates only with user's password, but the pop-up window text mentions incorrectly the root password. In order to give every student in the lab control over their workstation without needing the root password, I modified /etc/sudoers with: User_Alias FULLADMIN = clange,slange Defaults:FULLADMIN authenticate FULLADMIN PLACE = PASSWD: ALL Since kdesu wraps around sudo, it also requires the user password to authenticate. This is a feature of kdesu, not a bug, as explained in Bug 339922. But sudo informs correctly which password is being requested:

sudo mount clange's password: (or slange's password if slange is logged in) while the kdesu pop-up window misleadingly asks to "Please enter the Administrator (root) password to continue."

I suggest that the pop-up window mentions the proper user, whose password is being requested, as with sudo in the command line. -- 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.
