+ * A client class to access kdesud, the KDE su daemon. Kdesud can assist in
+ * password caching in two ways:
+ *
+ * @li For high security passwords, like for su and ssh, it executes the
+ * password requesting command for you. It feeds the password to the
+ * command, without ever returning it to you, the user. The daemon should
+ * be installed setgid nogroup, in order to be able to act as an inaccessible,
+ * trusted 3rd party.
+ * See exec, setPass, delCommand.
+ *
+ * @li For lower security passwords, like web and ftp passwords, it can act
+ * as a persistent storage for string variables. These variables are
+ * returned to the user, and the daemon doesn't need to be setgid nogroup
+ * for this.
+ * See setVar, delVar, delGroup.
