Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gksu
I'm using Natty and gksu does not prompt for specific password when
libpam-otpw is being used.
What happens:
1. I launch f. ex. synaptic with "gksu synaptic"
2. Gksu asks for "Password".
3. I have no information of which password (out of the list of 280 passwords
generated by otpw-gen) gksu wants. Fallback to normal unix password does not
seem to work either.
4. Can't open application.
What should happen:
1. I launch f. ex. synaptic with "gksu synaptic"
2. Gksu asks for "Password 123".
3. I type the password in.
4. If it is correct, application should be launched. If it is incorrect, gksu
should fall back to unix password.
Sudo and GDM, for example, seem to handle this correctly.
