Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux When the user running kdesu has insufficient privileges to run su (e.g. not in wheel group) kdesu fails with the incorrect error message "Incorrect password; please try again." Note that, su gives an imprecise but correct error: "Permission denied." IMO it would be better to change the error message to something like this: "Permission denied. Maybe the password was wrong."
I ran into the same incorrect message. If kdesu can see the difference between an incorrect password and lack of user privileges, a message like: "You do not have rights to run applications as another user. Please contact your system administrator" would be very nice.
