FWIW, I can confirm here on gentoo, /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kdesud is part of the kdesu package (4.7.90 installed), and that it's setGID, owner root, group "nogroup" (probably "nobody" on LFS). I don't see any special set* treatment in the ebuild, so it would appear to be set by the build process from upstream (kde). But my normal/kde user is locked out of things like su, and thus kdesu, so I can't confirm whether it actually works or not. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
