/** \class KDEsuClient client.h kdesu/client.h
 * 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.
