Bug#415732: fails to authenticate with second password pam auth module

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: normal

I use two pam auth modules: pam_shishi and pam_unix. If I enter a
password and pam_shishi fails to authenticate, sudo prompts me for a
second password and tries to authenticate with pam_unix.

gnome-screensaver only prompts me for a password once, but it uses the
password to authenticate with both pam_shishi and pam_unix.

gksu fails when pam requests a second password. It doesn't prompt me for
a second password, nor does it use my first password. Consequently if I
have network problems and can't authenticate with pam_shishi, I can't
use gksu.

Thanks for maintaining this package! Jack
