[Bug 1451815] Re: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication
Indeed, I completely forgot about the sudo/admin groups. Indeed "admin" has been the one introduced by Ubuntu since the very beginning; later "sudo" was introduced by Debian, and Ubuntu moved to it. So "admin" can safely be dropped once all sudo users got moved into "sudo". ** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451815 Title: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1451815/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1451815] Re: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication
Hi, thanks for the analysis. The outcome seems quite reasonable. Can you help me confirming that the "Admin" user is a compatibility leftover from past versions of Ubuntu and that administrators can be safely removed from it? I have found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/43317/what-is-the-difference-between- the-sudo-and-admin-group and I wonder if it covers all admin tasks or whether there may be old binaries around that still look for "admin". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451815 Title: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1451815/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1451815] Re: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication
For me the issue about getting duplicate names in the output was due to the fact that my user was in both the "admin" and "sudo" group. Seems like polkit first lists all user from the sudo group, then all users from the admin group; not checking if the same user was listed twice. so after a quick sudo gpasswd -d $USER admin The duplicate no longer appear. Hope this information is helpful. //Rikard -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451815 Title: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1451815/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1451815] Re: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication
Another shot into the blue, what does "getent passwd | grep 1000" say? Do you use any kind of remote user database (NIS, LDAP, etc.), or is this a fairly standard desktop install? If you don't have any secret user names or home directory names, would you mind attaching your /etc/passwd and /etc/group (NOT /etc/shadow, that has the encrypted passwords!) so that I can see whether I can reproduce this with these files? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451815 Title: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1451815/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, I see the same with the graphical backend.
