Good Day everyone,
I still wonder, after all those years, how to configure root login shell in konsole to ask again and not just die when I mistyped the password.
Konsole is launched with the arguments "su --login" or "su --login -c 'mc -c'".
'su' in a USER shell also dies after one login attempt. So, it seems, su needs to be configured. But it is hard for me to see through su/pam configuration.
Any help or hint is muchly appreciated.
Some quick poking around suggests you may want to look at the login.defs file, specifically the LOGIN_RETRIES setting (this will presumably affect more than just su, though.)
