Somewhere after the last update, kdesu will not accept my root password anymore, such as when I want to run Yast. (OpenSUSE 10.1 KDE 3.5.4(a))
That's the same version as 10.2alpha3.
If I open a shell, I can su to root with that password with no problem. So the password is good, but any attempt to use it in the pop-up that KDE puts up results in bad password?
What's up with that? Is this a known bug? Worked till last week.
Okay, one quick test later, the same problem shows up in 10.2alpha3 so it looks like the problem is specifically with that KDE version[0]. A quick search of Bugzilla doesn't show an open bug for this so I've added one[1]. <Snip>
Nope, but that is certainly something I would not have checked myself....
Mine is dated a tad later, but still suid:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shadow 18127 2006-07-09 16:28 /opt/kde3/bin/kcheckpass
The one on alpha3 is dated a little later still, a little smaller, and also suid: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root shadow 12274 2006-08-07 17:42 /opt/kde3/bin/kcheckpass The one I have on 10.1, KDE 3.5.1a, is the same as Anders: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root shadow 12184 2006-05-30 22:33 /opt/kde3/bin/kcheckpass [0] 10.2alpha2 was using KDE 3.5.3.
