KSysv contains the following dialog text:

 i18n ("<p>Sorry, you do not have the right permissions " \ "to edit your 
system's init configuration. </p>" \ "However, you are free to browse the 
runlevels.</p>" \ "<p>If you really want to edit the " \ "configuration, 
either <strong>restart</strong> " \ "%1 <strong>as root</strong> (or another 
privileged "\ "user), or ask your sysadmin to install %2 " \ "<em>suid</em> 
or <em>sgid</em>.</p>" \ "<p>The latter way is not recommended though, " \ 
"due to security issues.</p>")

and

 QWhatsThis::add (authIconBox, i18n ("<p>If the lock is closed <img 
src=\"user|ksysv_locked\"/>, "\ "you don't have the right " \ 
"<strong>permissions</strong> to edit the init configuration.</p>" \ 
"<p>Either restart %1 as root (or another more privileged user), " \ "or ask 
your sysadmin to install %1 <em>suid</em> or " \ "<em>sgid</em>.</p><p>The 
latter way is <strong>not</strong> "\ "recommended though, due to security 
issues.</p>") .arg 
(kapp->aboutData()->programName()).arg(kapp->aboutData()->programName()));

These texts are incorrect. KSysv is not able to run suid or sgid, kdelibs does 
not allow that. Please advice.

Cheers,
Waldo
