What version of KDE are you running? Kdesu in KDE 2.1.1 works fine, but it is
broken in KDE 2.2 alpha 2 (I haven't tried alpha 1). Things appear to be fine
in KDE 2.2 beta 1.

Hmm, kdesu is no longer accepting my root password. Opening up an xterm and
using su - in the normal way with the same password works just fine, so I can
still get root access to my apps, but I'd like to know what is causing this.

Alan, the problem is solved. Kdesu doesn't show up in my locate listing
because Darryl doesn't have permission to read(?) the /usr/bin
directory. When I run locate as root, it is listed t

The kdesu executable does not belong in /usr/share/apps. What
you are seeing there is most likely a directory called /kdesu
that normally contains a couple of icons.
Executables belong in /bin or /sbin directorie

Yes it was, however I installed over Red Hat 5.2, so maybe that
influenced the Mandrake install?

Darrylit should be in /usr/bin in fact when you use
kpackage to install the kdesu rpm file you can look under the
files tab where there's a list of all of the files that
kpackage will install from the rpm file. Near or at the top
of that list /usr/bin/kdesu will be listed.

Hi Alan,
Ok, I did that, and still I can't ls -al, or locate kdesu. I did find a
/usr/bin/kcmkdesu file, which I suspected might be a ma

That would be a fine idea if it worked. I have the same problem as Irv
Mullins. Neither of us can log on as superuser using kdesu because it
won't accept the password.

KDESU is messed up for me as well (even right after doing a fresh install, with
or without all of the updated packages). I know the password part isn't the
problem; what happens to me is that

Well, it would be nice if, in addition to confusing snoops, it would
actually allow super-user access.
It doesn't.
That, of course, is the problem.

Does anyone know why, when you try to use
terminal (super user, kdesu) you get a password dialog,
in which every key pressed is echoed three times?
Example: if root password were pig, you would type
pig, and see echoed: * (9 starz)
and an invalid password message. Of course it's inval
