Bug 51237

Looks like a problem with your PAM configuration - or my interpretation of how it works (in particular that pam_open_session() should not start a conversation).

What does your /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 file (and the files it point to) look like?

I don't think it's right to return PAM_SUCCESS (we'd have to set resp to something) - does it work if you just return PAM_CONV_ERR ?

It would also be helpful to try and print the arguments passed to the conversation function to get an idea of what it's trying to do...

Seems to work as well.

I'm pretty bad with C.  Can you perhaps attach a patch with whatever you'd like to see printed out for me?

Travis, /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 should look like:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       include      system-local-login
account    include      system-local-login
password   include      system-local-login
session    include      system-local-login

Since we pass:

./configure --with-pam-include=system-local-login

And system-local-login looks like:

auth		include		system-login
account		include		system-login
password	include		system-login
session		include		system-login

And system-login looks like what you pasted here but I don't see you attaching system-local-login here at all... Does that mean your /etc/pam.d/polkit-1 is referring system-login instead of system-local-login?

In Gentoo we really need to use system-local-login to use proper modules from the sys-auth/pambase "Gentoo specific" package.

Yes I have those.  I simply left out the stuff that was only including other files.  Hope it didn't cause too much confusion.

I ran 'diff -u' between my system-{auth,login} and your and the only difference is that I have pam_gnome_keyring.so in system-login like:

auth		optional	pam_gnome_keyring.so

[ ... snip ... ]

session		optional	pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

Otherwise our pam.d files are identical. It's working fine here so I don't understand :-/
