Description Alex 2015-08-20 15:52:30 UTC

kdesudo asks for the password of the wrong user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "kdesudo -u someotheruser somecommand"

Actual Results:  
A dialog is shown >>please enter password for someotheruser"<<

Expected Results:  
A dialog is shown >>please enter password for thecurrentuser"<<

Running the command works without any problem, but with the password for the user running kdesudo, not the password for the user specified with "-u"

I cannot test here right now, but the command to reproduce is mentioned in the bug.

kdesudo doesn't seem to be packaged anymore and it looks like it was deprecated.
