Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2006-02-06 23:11:05 UTC

Version:           1.5.2 (using KDE 3.4.3, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.15-gentoo-r1

After opening a "Root Shell" and entering a wrong password, the shell crashes (with exit 1). This happens consistently.
I would expect the shell to just ask for the password again.

Comment 1 Kurt Hindenburg 2006-02-08 18:21:03 UTC

This is due to the 'root shell' using 'su -';  is you enter an invalid password, 'su -' exits... and that Konsole session exits... it does not crash.
There is no way to change this...
