Bug 48516 – kdesu not working in kde 3.2.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Tom Kiermaier 2004-04-20 14:48:41 UTC]

Using kdesu always results in it saying incorrect password. Doesn't seem to matter if the password I'm entering is actually correct. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run "kdesu something"
2.enter root password
3.watch as it fails
