           Summary: KDEsudo asks for permission to run one command in a
                    script, but does not ask about the next ones.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rockachu2 at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

If you accidentally start a partially-malicious script, that requires root
priveledges, kdesudo will ask fro the password  for root, as it should. It also
says the command that is running under kdesudo. BUT it does not say that it
will run more kdesudo commands from the script without asking for a password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create a script with kdesudo apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade:

kdesudo apt-get update;kdusudo apt-get upgrade

Actual Results:  
kdesudo asks fro a password to run apt-get update. It does not inform the user
about the 'upgrade' command.

Expected Results:  
Told the user that it will allow all further calls from that script to run
under root, and give an option to ask again for a root password the next time
it is run from the same script (ex case, it would ask for a password for
apt-get upgrade) 

I've made a few mistakes with busted repositories (I edit my sources a LOT) and
this would have saved me every time.
