    sudo, kdsu, kdesu???

    What are the differences between sudo, kdsu, kdesu pertaining to the kde desktop?

    I use kubuntu with kde 3.5.9

      For kubuntu, you use sudo from the command-line to run non-graphical programs with admin permissions

      To start graphical applications (from the command-line) with admin privileges, you use the kdesudo command. That is what causes the password box to open, like when you open Adept from the kmenu for example

      kdesudo is a newer variant, if you will, of kdesu and is what kubuntu (and others I think) use now. If you find old references out there in wikis or web searches, just use the kdesudo command in place of kdesu
