Description Karolina Lindqvist 2002-12-14 10:51:34 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

It looks like kdepasswd can accept a "--user" option, but it does not work. It is probably supposed to be a <user> argument, and the programs works if a '+' is stuck in front of "user" in the KCmdLineOptions.

The following assumes the patch of inserting a '+' is applied:

If the <user> argument is specified, the program should check if it is the root user calling the program, since otherwise it will not change the password for that user but for the current user.

If the root user is using that argument, it will give the wrong message and say "your password has been changed" instead of saying "the password for user xxx has been changed"
