In my old notes I have: Kdesu now again defaults to using su instead of sudo because of various problems with using sudo there. You can change the default back to sudo using kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo (or you can change from sudo to su by changing the --key super-user-command su) If you are having problems with sudo, this is something to check. I don't know what the default is for TDE or whether this was ever a patch incorporated in TDE or if it was just an openSUSE patch of KDE3 -- Slavek will know :) (not intentionally throwing Slavek under the bus...) -- David C.
