Description tormen 2015-06-16 14:21:42 UTC

Confirmed on my machine and on the machine from someone on IRC.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using factory /etc/sudoers, with commented "

2. Adding the line: "tormen ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/true" to /etc/sudoers
3. And evoking "kdesu /usr/bin/true" 




2.
3.

Actual Results:  
"kdesu /usr/bin/true" asks for a password.
(but "sudo /usr/bin/true" does not)

Expected Results:  
"kdesu /usr/bin/true" should behave like sudo and do not ask for a password.

Also adding the line: "tormen ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" to /etc/sudoers
And evoking "kdesu /usr/bin/true" aks for NO passwor 
and neither does calling "sudo /usr/bin/true".

I chose Major, because for a kdesu command I consider this major.

Problem encountered on opensuse 13.2:

kdesu --version

KDE su: 1.0

kdesu is part of kdebase4-runtime:
