Probably it wants the root password. Whether it wants the root password
or your password depends on how sudo has been configured. If you have a
line like
Defaults targetpw
in /etc/sudoers then that means that sudo will ask for the root password;
if you comment it out with a # then it will ask for your password.

What does "have no response" mean? Do you get a command line prompt
back again (i.e. the command finishes executing)? Can you please copy
and paste the exact output into an email and send it to the list.

I don't know: I never used fedora and I don't know anything about kppp (sorry).
