Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdesudo
several kubuntu apps are allowing me to operate as root without prompting for the password.
This has only just started to occur after installing gusty over a failed feisty -> gutsy upgrade.
It does seem a little random, I got used to Dolphin 0.9.2's Open as Root option not prompting until it did once.
Krusaders "Krusader - root-mode" (krusader -caption "%c" %i %m ) used to prompt in Feisty, doesn't always now, perhaps 1 in 3.
I installed Krusader to get away from what I thought was a bug in Dolphin (BTW it would then change the ownership of ~/.kde/
But now system settings and aptitude is doing it too.
With system setting I can alter the network, display properties, even users without being prompted for the password.
aptitude allowed updates and installs all without a prompt.
It could be "caching" it between apps now-a-days, maybe that is its intention, but I would be surprised as it didn't before.
