Administrator mode root password problems

Hi, I installed the new KDE3.4.1 with konstructor and it works great, but when i am in the control center and try to go into the administrator mode for some reason it does not reconize my root password. (I know i'm typing it correctly) and it works when i type it in has su. Does anybody know how to solve this problem.
thanks,
Mathieu
Note: I'm using Mandrake 10.0

RE: Administrator mode root password problems

i have the very same problem.

I use slackware 10.1 and upgraded to kde 3.4.1 by using the package on ftp.kde.org/stable/3.4.1/contrib/slackware/10.1. All worked fine.

I could have changed one time the settings of kdm from the kontrol center as a user and by typing the root passwd.

But now, every time i try that, it fails. i have some dcoperver process, and kdesud running ,but after some time kontrol center present me the default page that you have when you launch it; and not the page that is needed.

If i run manually the command kcmshell that is normally run (you could see it in the dialog asking your root passwd), everything works fine.

I think it is a bug and i may fil a bug report .
