Hello,
I'm working on my laptop with OpenBSD 4.4 and am quite pleased

However, I am having trouble with KDE, specifically accessing
administrator
mode in many of the Control Center dialogs.
It prompts me for my password, but no matter whether I type the root
password or the password for my normal user account I get the
error message
"conversation with su failed", and it won't let me do such things
as add
printers, change the screen resolution, etc.

For the archives, I encountered the same thing. /usr/local/share/

super-user-command=sudo
Not sure if the right thing to do, but I changed the "sudo" in the
last line to "su"
and it worked for me.
Thanks.
