Which sh-utils do you have installed?  Did you su to root in order to 
run linuxconf, but are logged into X as the user?

linuxconf uses consolehelper now, so you can just run linuxconf as a 
normal user and it will ask for the root password.

But the new su, in sh-utils-2.0.15-2mdk should prevent these errors...  
I've been using linuxconf all morning for testing and couldn't once 
reproduce this.
