Hiya,
I just completed installing LFS 5.1 on my shiny new linux box and went to go adjust the time as a user. When the KCMshell box popped up prompting for the root password, I put it in and it said I had the wrong password. I have tried this repeatedly, and found that if I use a teminal and su to root that I can run the kcmshell along with associated module just fine. I have Linux_Pam installed, its the only thing I can think of that might be causing the issue . . . but its configuration seems fine. I could completely reload kdebase, but would rather solve the issue. Im looking for a starting point . . .
Thank You,
Druisgod
I'm not sure if this is a related issue (especially as I don't know PAM) but... http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/ports/0204/msg00118.html
It's about missing SUID bits.
