From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031110 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: pam_timestamp should "flush" root privileges on logout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam-0.77-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into KDE and start any app linked to userhelper 2. Log out 3. Log in again Actual Results: The program is restored without passwort. Any other app that requires root access can bee used, too. Expected Results: Passwords should be forgotten on logout and the password dialog should appear before a programm with root privileges can be started/restored. Additional info:
Even happens after a reboot!
The easiest solution is probably to save login time of the current tty to the timestamp file and check if it's the same when reusing the timestamp.

I have fix for this. Actually it's not necessary to save the login time. It's enough to test if the oldest login time of the user is older than the timestamp to allow access.
