Bug#246652: gksu: does not honour PAM query string

[Johannes Berg]

Package: gksu
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: normal

After having installed OPIE for S/KEY passwords, it is impossible to use gksu.
gksu will always have a query like this:
  I need $user's password to run:
      $program
  Password: [____________]

instead of
  You need to authenticate as $user to run $program.
  $query: [______________]

where $query is the query string 'su' will give (from pam!). 
The reason for this is that after installing opie for su,
the query string looks like this:

  johannes:~$ su
  otp-md5 <seqnr> <id> ext, Response:<enter response>
  johannes:/home/johannes#

  where <seqnr> is the sequence number for s/key,
        <id>    is the account id;
  the response looks like this: "BARN ALTO IOWA DEED MOON DOW".

When you can guess the parameters, gksu will actually work
(you can guess them by calling su and aborting it), but it
really should display the parameters.

Johannes Berg
