While testing a script I'm working on, I used alt+ctrl+f2 to switch to tty2, logged in as a tester id, then ran the script, but pkexec incorrectly displayed that it was authenticating as the user on tty1, instead of as root. Output of the id command uid=501(tester) gid=501(tester) groups=501(tester) Output of grep 501 /etc/passwd etc/group /etc/passwd:tester:x:501:501:tester:/home/tester:/bin/bash /etc/group:tester:x:501: The script being executed ... #!/bin/bash pkexec '/usr/sbin/copyiso2usb' "$@" The incorrect info displayed just before the line with Password: Authenticating as: David W. Hodgins (dave) In cauldron (at least under virtualbox), it correctly displays Authenticating as: root Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Forgot to mention, pkexec works ok, it's just the info displayed that is incorrect.
