I used the 'usermod' command to add sudo to the groups that belong to user marco. I checked with the command 'id' : it shows user marco as part of the admin and sudo groups.
But when asked for my password by a kde application in a Kdesudo window, I still get bumped after 3 tries with the message 'Wrong password. Exiting'. Any clues?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that perhaps tdesu, not tdesudo, is executing. There was a problem with an incorrect message string in tdesu where it was prompting for the user's password but actually expected the root password; this has been fixed in GIT but has not been repaired in 3.5.13 AFAIK.

well, I looked in KSysguard, and I found mention of kdesu, not kdesudo.
So would it be a good idea for me to set up a root password and try that in the meantime?
