Bug#454624: Fwd: Re: Bug#454624: gksu doesn't ask for a password and runs apps as root

Additionnal test :

$ whoami
<normal_non_root_user>
$ su
Mot de passe : 
# whoami
root
# echo "test" > root_test_file
# chmod 600 root_test_file 
# ls -l root_test_file 
-rw------- 1 root root 5 2007-12-06 19:26 root_test_file
# exit
$ whoami
<normal_non_root_user>
$ more root_test_file 
root_test_file: Permission non accordée

And I can do whatever I want on the computer (as the root user) if I use
gksu. :-/

 Do you have sudo?  If it's not private, please attach your sudoers
