Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux If you accidentally start a partially-malicious script, that requires root priveledges, kdesudo will ask fro the password for root, as it should. It also says the command that is running under kdesudo. BUT it does not say that it will run more kdesudo commands from the script without asking for a password. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: create a script with kdesudo apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade: kdesudo apt-get update;kdusudo apt-get upgrade Actual Results: kdesudo asks fro a password to run apt-get update. It does not inform the user about the 'upgrade' command. Expected Results: Told the user that it will allow all further calls from that script to run under root, and give an option to ask again for a root password the next time it is run from the same script (ex case, it would ask for a password for apt-get upgrade) I've made a few mistakes with busted repositories (I edit my sources a LOT) and this would have saved me every time.
"kdesudo" is not part of the KDE Software Compilation (only "kdesu" is), but a distribution specific add-on. Please report this bug to https://launchpad.net/kdesudo
