Comment 1 Andre Lammel 2004-08-24 18:06:45 UTC
using pam_usb in conjunction with kdesu (e.g. using the controlcenter module
in kde for loginmanager configuration or using k3b´s k3bsetup as normal user)
failes with following error:

communication with su failed

it turns out that the problem is the password-prompt used by pam_usb which is

Passphrase to unlock the key:

instead of the normal password prompt

Password:

kdesu expects the "standard" password prompt and thus failes. I have made a 
patch and a new ebuild for pam_usb which is attached to this bug for those
who encountered the same problem. Please consider this for inclusion in por-
tage as pam_usb-0.3.1-r1.

greetings

Heya,

I may include this as an option for pam_usb (i'm also pam_usb's author).
Thanks for reporting both the bug and the solution.
