[gentoo-user] Problem with KDESU not accepting root password

[gentoo-user] Problem with KDESU not accepting root password

Hi All!! Long time since last time I bothered you all! ;-)

I googled around and found many people having my same problem, but could not
find any solution.

Sudo works just great on my machine, while kdesu always says 'Bad password'.

Have you any idea about what I can check to fix such issue?

Thanks a lot,
Massimiliano

Hmmm. No, I wasn't.

Now it works. Thank you very much! Very prompt answer/solution!

Probably it's my ignorance, but, my kdesu is configured to use sudo.
Why did sudo work while kdesu didn't ?

Thanks,
Massimiliano

I don't know. Never used sudo. I do not trust it.
