If there's no -u flag, it asks for root password. In the default configuration shipped with SUSE sudo package, 'targetpw' option is on. When 'targetpw' option is off (and YaST module turns it off by default), you are prompted for your own password when trying to execute command as other user, unless NOPASSWD: flag is set (then no password is needed). Regarding your configuration (without 'targetpw' option), it seems to be the one kdesu is not able to cope with. Kde-maintainers, can you help here ? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
