Anacron (run as non-root user) can't get password with secret-tool

[OrelEagle]

I have set up anacron for a non-root user ("myuser") to run several scripts. All of them work well, except the ones where I use secret-tool to get a password from the keyring.

I have tried to run these scripts from the command line (same user) and they run without any issue.

To reproduce:

1. Store a password in the keyring with secret-tool:

secret-tool store --label=bugtest bugreport password

enter "test" as password

2. Create the file ~/.anacron/anacrontab with this content

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
HOME=/home/myuser
LOGNAME=myuser

1 2 cron.bug echo "the password is $(secret-tool lookup bugreport password)" > /home/myuser/.anacron/output

3. Create a crontab to run myuser's anacron:

*/5 * * * * /usr/sbin/anacron -t /home/myuser/.anacron/anacrontab -S /home/myuser/.anacron/spool

4. Wait for 7 minutes and then check /home/myuser/.anacron/outuput. It will just contain this line:

the password is

5. Run the same command from the command line and check that file again, it contain:

the password is test
