Ktsuss can't handle secure passwords

[cyberpatrol]

When trying to start a software like gslapt (as root) with ktsuss I get the following error message:

Could not run '/path/to/software'
Invalid username or password

Both user name (root) and password that I entered are correct. This happens with pretty long passwords which also contain quite a lot of special characters. With a password like "password" the software is executed as the given user (root) as expected.

I'm using the locale de_DE.UTF8 and the keyboard layout de-latin1-nodeadkeys.

Since this happens with the gksu wrapper script and with ktsuss directly, and on Salix as well as on Arch Linux I guess it's an upstream bug. I already filed a bug to upstream: https://code.google.com/p/ktsuss/issues/detail?id=7

Btw., if I login as root on a terminal I'm able to start gslapt as root.

It does sound like a issue with the source rather than you operating system.

From gapan's ktsuss site:

I, too, thought that it was an upstream bug. I primarily wanted to inform the Salix devs, too, because they more or less rely on ktsuss.
I'll report it later to David by e-mail. Thanks for the info.

Looks like there are two different project sites. Did they switch from code.google.com to github recently? I only knew the one on Google.
