Also during my afternoon with kdesu I found out that : kdesu uses a different mechanism to dermine the hostname than sudo ! kdesu seems to use (at least looking at the values) whatever the "hostname" cmd returns. sudo seems to use (at least looking at the values) whatever "hostname -s" cmd returns. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setting hostname to a FQN, for instance "my-host.my-domain.com" 2. Using "my-host" in /etc/sudoers 3. strace kdesu /usr/bin/true Actual Results: shows that kdesu uses "my-host.my-domain.com", but sudo is fine with just "my-host" Expected Results: kdesu should behave as sudo determinig the hostname
Problem encountered on opensuse 13.2: kdesu --version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.8 KDE su: 1.0 kdesu is part of kdebase4-runtime: i | kdebase4-runtime | package | 14.12.3-16.6 | x86_64 | (System Packages)
