[opensuse] kdesu problem
Hi, I decided to update my kde yesterday unfortunately. First I had the problem of a parse error in sudoers, then after fixing that kdesu says the root password is wrong. I used kdebase3-3.5.8-38.i586 from the presently unavailable factory repo and attempts at downgrading produce a web of removals in yast. Can anybody give me a clue as to where the broken link between kdesu and su is? Su works perfectly and I can start things from konsole using su.

Your assumption that kdesu uses su is AFAIK wrong. So try sudo from konsole to test what goes wrong.

Thanks for help, I force uninstalled sudo, deleted all trace of sudoers and then reinstalled. Only problem I have now is although kdesu works it gives a sorry panel saying "KDEInit could not launch 'kdesu'", so it's obviously trying to launch two instances.

Hmmm. Which program are you trying to start via kdesu? If you google "KDEInit could not launch 'kdesu'" you will find some hints that may be useful.
