Description usedonlytosignup 2010-09-17 13:32:31 UTC

Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

kdesu --help does not match man kdesu at all, the options are completely different.

It doesn't respect my PAM configuration. I have an authentication token that uses OTP (a Yubikey). ConsoleKit/su/everything else recognises this and presents a pretty graphical box with the correct prompt:

Yubikey OTP:

As per pam configuration. kdesu always asks for my root password.

Reproducible: Always




I would love to mark this bug as critical but it isn't. It is however VERY annoying.
