using pam_usb in conjunction with kdesu (e.g. using the controlcenter module in kde for loginmanager configuration or using k3b´s k3bsetup as normal user) failes with following error: communication with su failed it turns out that the problem is the password-prompt used by pam_usb which is Passphrase to unlock the key: instead of the normal password prompt Password: kdesu expects the "standard" password prompt and thus failes. I have made a patch and a new ebuild for pam_usb which is attached to this bug for those who encountered the same problem. Please consider this for inclusion in por- tage as pam_usb-0.3.1-r1. greetings andre lammel

Heya, I may include this as an option for pam_usb (i'm also pam_usb's author). Thanks for reporting both the bug and the solution.
