Indeed libgksu/natty-proposed accepts password 3 times, from this aspect -proposed package works fine. But gksu outputs "3 incorrect password attempts" per 1 attempt. Although it seems not to have actual harm, this behaviour is strange.
========== $ gksu 'echo 1' GNOME_SUDO_PASS #### <- beginning of first attempt Sorry, try again. GNOME_SUDO_PASS Sorry, try again. sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts GNOME_SUDO_PASS #### <- beginning of second attempt Sorry, try again. GNOME_SUDO_PASS Sorry, try again. sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts GNOME_SUDO_PASS #### <- beginning of third attempt Sorry, try again. GNOME_SUDO_PASS Sorry, try again. sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts ========== -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298217 Title: no second attempt and no feedback when wrong password entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgksu/+bug/298217/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
