That might explain why such bugs go unnoticed, as many admins might
never use the menus. :)

But still, if the application installs a menu entry, it should either
work as the user or prompt the user for the needed credentials.

Maybe because sysadmins are not 'normal users'?  If you are responsible and 
experienced enough to use a sysadmin application, you are experienced enough 
to know how to get to it.

And if that's the case, it's surely a bug if a package installs a menu
item that does not work for normal users.  I'd file bugs for any such
menu items.

Try launching the application from a root konsole.  I think some sysadmin apps 
don't work properly from user menus.

system/admin menu

2009-09-11 Thread andy york
I'm having a prob w/ system/admin menu.. about 1/2 the progs reply
with "The password you typed is invalid. Please try again".

It does not prompt for a password. Some things work some things don't.

I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this error.
