description |
Binary package hint: policykit
Hi all,
I've configured my system with kerberos password authentication (since my machine is inside an AD domain).
With sudo/gksudo no problems at all, but when using a policykit unlock dialog (like in user-admin), typing my kerberos password results in a freezed window. |
the authentication dialog will sometimes hang.
In particular it hangs if your password is about to expire, in which
case pam will send a message.
This message is sent as PAM_AUTH_INFO from polkit-grant-helper-pam,
and relayed by polkit-grant-helper. It is then passed on to the authentication
agent by polkit-grant. polkit-grant doesn't allow the agent to respond to
these, and so it proceeds to wait for the next line of the conversation.
However, polkit-grant-helper is waiting for a response to this, as it does
for everything sent by the child, but it is never going to get one, and doesn't
even need to bother, as polkit-grant-helper-pam isn't expecting one.
It seems to me that there are two ways to fix this. Either have
polkit-grant-helper inspect the messages and know which get responses
(duplicating some logic), or have everything get a response, and have
polkit-grant-helper-pam wait for the empty responses.
=== Original report:
