[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#825949: pam_systemd(su:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Hi,

the problem is still there in this package version:

Package: libpam-systemd
Version: 232-18

Here is what happens when I su from root to a normal user:

févr. 28 15:01:36 irancy su[7313]: Successful su for bonnaudl by root
févr. 28 15:01:36 irancy su[7313]: + /dev/pts/0 root:bonnaudl
févr. 28 15:01:36 irancy su[7313]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user bonnaudl by root(uid=0)
févr. 28 15:01:36 irancy su[7313]: pam_systemd(su:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session
févr. 28 15:01:39 irancy su[7313]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user bonnaudl

If I pile up 2 su (normal user -> root -> normal user), then I get no error message and the creation of a new session:

févr. 28 15:17:23 irancy su[9191]: Successful su for bonnaudl by root
févr. 28 15:17:23 irancy su[9191]: + /dev/pts/2 root:bonnaudl
févr. 28 15:17:23 irancy su[9191]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user bonnaudl by bonnaudl(uid=0)

févr. 28 15:17:23 irancy systemd-logind[2859]: New session c2 of user bonnaudl.
févr. 28 15:17:24 irancy su[9191]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user bonnaudl
févr. 28 15:17:24 irancy systemd-logind[2859]: Removed session c2.
