The behavior of gksu and gksudo with pam_musclecard is identical to Bug#15093. I get the same behavior with pam_pkcs11 as well. Both PAM modules present prompts that differ from the usual as pam_krb5 describes in Bug#15093. Here's what I see from the command-line:
For pam_musclecard: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu xeyes Please enter pin For pam_pkcs11: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu xeyes PIN for token Co Per the other bug, if I run sudo with -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS, I get: For pam_musclecard: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS xeyes Please enter pin: For pam_pkcs11: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS xeyes PIN for token Common Access Card: I note that an upstream bug was logged against sudo but there's been no motion on it as far as I can tell. -- gksu not prompting when pam_musclecard in use https://launchpad.net/bugs/52018 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
