multiple ways

There are 3 basically levels at which you set rights,
the OS conf files
X and XDMCP
the Window Manager, more particularly KDE and GNOME and various policykit ..
Please let my OS manage the rights, X and WMs only are guests on the system.

GBOME and KDE try to be "user friendly" and let you "click" on choices you won't know what and where they do it. In those WMs, su is wrapped as gksu, k**su, ... . Not welcomes in the OpenBSD implementation.
On my GNOME install I don't seem to have gksu.
