Bug Description
Hello,
kdesudo ask for the wrong password while trying "kdesudo -u <user> <program>". Tried this (assuming "kaputtnik" is the first user):
* "kaputtnik" creates a new user "test"
* logout and login to "test", defining a password for "test"
* logout and login to "kaputtnik"
* try running "kdesudo -u test konsole", a popup appears, asking for the password from "test", seems to be ok, but:
Typing the password from "test" causes a message "wrong password"!
Typing the password from "kaputtnik" everything is fine, konsole opens and the environment seems to be the environment from "test"
I don't know, if this a security hole. Maybe it is only a wrong text in the popupwindow?
Using Kubuntu 9.10
