In FreeSBD 7.0, set up KDE 3.5.
I want to change settings in KDE Settings/SystemAdministration / LoginManager (no shutdown possibility for a non-root privilege user)

This asks for the root password, I enter the correct root password,
click OK, and that dialog window closes and I back in the desktop ...

Why ???

(the root password is certainly correct, if I change a letter, I get Incorrect Password; try again)

I can choose 'ignore' and continue with non-root privileges, but when
I want to change something that requires root privileges, same dialog
box and when entering correct password, the dialog window closes...

When I first click at the bottom, the button 'Adminstrator Mode'
same dialog box, that closes at correct root password, but I am still
left in  non-root privileges (although there is now a red line arround
the dialog window) but most of the settings that one should be able to
change are grey .. because I still am not yet in root-privilege mode

the user I was logged in which is part ot the group wheel
(I a terminal window I can do aan su -, give the root paswsword and
have all root privileges)
