[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#675512: schroot: running an existing session as a user other than whom the session begun

[SZABO Zsolt]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.19-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal


On lenny I used to begin a chroot-session at boot (as root) and than
the normal user "attach" to this session to run the programs in the session:
user:$ schroot -r -c started_chroot_session -p

I used this method instead "schroot -c chroot_session -p" thus the symlinks
are created only once even when attaching not only one user but 10 or more
at the same time.

However, this does not work on squeezy: I always get the message
"Access not authorized". A line is also written in the auth.log:
schroot: user -> user Unathorized

Possibly it is a pam related situation (feature or bug, I do not know..),
however, I do not know either how to solve or get back the original way of
operation.

TIA,
Zsolt
