[sclug] how to get into administrator mode on kde control center under kubuntu?

[John Stumbles]

(I've just posted this on comp.os.linux.misc but I'm sure there's 
someone on this list who'd know. If he's reading this :-)

I have a kubuntu 5.04 system which I've got by doing
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
on a ubuntu 5.04 system.

If I run Control Center and select System Administration -> Login 
Manager and click the Administrator Mode button I'm prompted for the 
_root_ password in a window titled 'Run as root - KDE su' to run command
kcmshell kdm -embed 52432611 -lang en-US

But [k]ubunto doesn't _have_ a root password [wail!]


(What I actually want to do is change which users on this system are 
allowed to shutdown the system - can anyone upclue me on how to do that?)
