Description of problem: If I run: kdesu -c "touch /root/test" kdesu -c "touch /root/test" two times it will ask me every time for the password and on the console I can see “kdesu(3277) startApp: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.” After executing: sudo groupadd nogroup sudo chown root:nogroup /usr/libexec/kde4/kdesud sudo sudo chmod g+s /usr/libexec/kde4/kdesud a new checkbox appears in the kdesu dialog with the label “Remember password” and I can execute kdesu -c "touch /root/test" without being asked for a password again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): since Fedora 12 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. kdesu -c "touch /root/test" there should be a checkbox with the label “Remember password” 3. kdesu -c "touch /root/test" no password dialog should pop up Actual results: it asks me every time for the password Expected results: it will not ask for the password again execute "konqueror help:/kdesu/sec-password-keeping.html" to see a description Additional info: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230566
the condensed version of all that is "kdesud should be installed setgid nogroup, but isn't". thinking about it again, i have no clue why it needs to be setGid in the first place - that doesn't protect anything. to prevent some other process in the user's session from snatching a saved password, it would have to be setUid ...
doh, thanks!
