Package: libgksu Version: 2.0.12-1
Hello, I debugged a problem with 2.0.12 and Ubuntu this morning and it turns out that using forkpty() for sudo is incompatible with the sudo "tty_tickets" configuration (that is the default in Ubuntu). With that config a ticket is held for per tty. So after forkpty() the pty is say 10 but the parent is still in 2. "sudo -v" works, but the subsequent call of the command will fail because sudo only has a ticket for pty 10 not for 2. In Ubuntu, I uploaded a reverted libgksu.c for now but I would like to hear your opinion. Initial I just removed the verifycmd to restore the old behavior, but with that "sudo -k" in a terminal does not work anymore because the ticket is on a different pty from where "sudo -k" is run. And because there is no global "sudo -k-all" it meas that this pty has a valid ticket until it expires (not ideal). My gut-feeling is that the forkpty() changes are not ideal and the old pipe behavior should be restored, but maybe you have a good idea how both can be kept?
