-<para>This module of the &kcontrol; gives you options for configuring the way in
-which the &tdesu; program treats passwords. &tdesu; will ask you for a password
-when you try to carry out some privileged actions, such as changing the
-date/time stored in your system clock, or adding new users on your
-computer.</para>
-
-<para>Privileged actions such as those described above can only be
-carried out by <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> or a
-user with administrator permissions on your system. You will need to
-enter the password for the root account when you want to carry out
-such actions.</para>
-
-<important><para>The options in this module do not affect the behavior of
-passwords in other programs such as &kmail;.</para>

-<para>There are two configuration options for passwords. The first is
-to control the visual feedback that you receive when you type a
-password. The actual characters in the password are never shown on the
-screen. You can choose to have each character represented by a
-<token>*</token> character. If you want to make it harder for someone
-who might be watching your screen to figure out how many characters
-there are in the password, you can choose to have each character in
-the password be represented by three asterisks rather than just
-one. Still another option is not to have any visual feedback at all,
-so nothing appears on the screen when you type a password.</para>
-
-<para>If you work in a reasonably secure environment, you can check
-the option labeled <guilabel>Remember Passwords</guilabel>, and then
-choose a time period in minutes using the spinner labeled
-<guilabel>Timeout</guilabel>. (You can either type a number between 5
-and 1200 minutes, or use the arrows on the spinner.)</para>
-
-<para>If the <guilabel>Remember passwords</guilabel> option has been selected,
-<application>tdesu</application> will not ask you for a password for the length
-of time specified, after you have given the password once. Keep in mind,
-however, that this makes your workstation less secure.</para>
-
-<important><para>You should avoid selecting the <guilabel>Remember
-passwords</guilabel> option if you are working in an insecure area, such as a
-publicly accessible workstation. Also, note that choosing a shorter timeout may
-be better if you are in a less secure environment.</para></important>
