Description Richard A.Gollub 2004-06-20 02:08:02 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

KDE version 3.0, kdesu honors the NOPASS option in /etc/suauth; but in version 3.2(.3) kdesu now hangs, apparently awaiting for input that will never arrive (there is no dialog available).
Is this actually a BUG or a FEATURE?
In any case, if it is a feature than a message of any kind should be issued and the process orderly terminated; otherwise is a bug to be corrected...
