I'm not sure which one, but a recent update seems to have killed 
Admin mode in KDE on 10.3. Clicking the Admin Mode button in any
control center window shows the red ring, but the thing hangs
forever. Not sure exactly when or why, but I noticed this after
todays updates, on 3 different 10.3 installs. Any clues?

Yep......does the same thing on my 64-bit laptop...don't know
about any others yet. I checked this on the font installer.

Same problem here on 10.3 32 bit.
Just a stab in the dark, perhaps the SSH update from yesterday?

'Don't know what did it or when.....I haven't used that function 
recently.

Try KDE 3.5.9-53.5 from KDE repositories.
It works with exception of:
   kcmshell fileshare
that has missing top of the window.
Finally filed bug report about this:
