Why do you think the error message of: 

	Invoking "ksu" to switch to root fails with error message:
		 ksu: Not owner while selecting the best principal.

Is related to change the standard shell check in lines 738?

The "while selecting the best principal" is from line line 403:

	if ((retval = get_best_princ_for_target(ksu_context, source_uid,
			target_uid, source_user, target_user, cc_source, 
			&options, cmd, localhostname, &client, &hp))){
		com_err(prog_name,retval, "while selecting the best principal"); 
		exit(1);
	}

The standard shell check in line 738, is, as far as I can tell, correct.
