Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-08-13 11:28:16 UTC 
Description of Problem: 
Since kdesu and applications using libkdesu don't support pam, pam_timestamp 
etc. aren't working for kcontrol modules. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
3.0.3-1
Comment 1 Petr Rockai 2005-03-22 13:25:20 UTC 
Hmm, kdesu is using either the "su" binary or "ssh" to gain root status. Both    
are using PAM for auth as far as i know. So i don't see the problem with it.  
If anyone can confirm that this really doesn't work, please reopen.
