Okay guys, I have no idea what the deal is now... I will restart, and 1 out of 3 times all my passwords are changed, and I have to boot to a CD and edit the passwd file to a blank password. log back in, then change them.
wth?? i'm about to reinstall, this is rediculous. this is probably why kdesudo keeps messing up and telling me i have the wrong password...
i'm going to class, hopefully someone will point me in the right direction by the time i get back. im nuking this install otherwise...
Oh, if anyone knows. Is there a way to have kde gui applications get root access by running kdesudo for a different user than the one running? I HATE putting users in the sudo file... b/c if you pwn one user, you get root... thats lame. but does KDE require users in the sudoers file so it can run kdesudo? i dont see why it wouldn't prompt for the roots privilege/password like gnome does...
thanks everyone, sorry for the bad mood. any help is really appreciated though.
