Package: sash
Version: 3.7-7
Severity: normal
If sash is set as root's shell, kdesu attempts will always fail instantly with the message "incorrect password", although PAM's logs will show that the attempts were successful. If an incorrect password is actually entered, there is the usual pause while the
password is looked up before the message appears. If root's shell is set back to dash or bash, kdesu functions normally.
