[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#580434: su: dropping privileges before calling pam_close_session() does not play nice with libpam-mount

Hi,

the title says it all: the "su" program drops privileges and calls
pam_close_session() without root permissions. This causes bogus
errors in other the pam mould libpam-mount (which needs the permissions
to unmount volumes).

This seems a duplicate of the archived bug #195048, but this bug is rather 
old. So I am not reopening, or merging those two.

Regards,
  Bastian
