Issue with sudo, systemd-logind, and systemd

Support Software & Applications
1

Running a command with sudo consistently results in two warning messages:

Jul 03 14:08:58 host-one systemd-logind[643]: Existing logind session ID 4 used by new audit session, ignoring.
Jul 03 14:08:58 host-one sudo[86144]: pam_systemd(sudo:session): Failed to check if /run/user/0/bus exists, ignoring: Permission denied

In this case, the sudo command was sudo /usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
Note that every occurrence of my user name was changed to userx. Since these are warning messages, I’m not in a panic but the full log from running this command reveals something that I believe is an issue:

Jul 03 14:08:58 host-one sudo[86144]:    userx : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/userx ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'

On another host that is running the same version of Manjaro, no warning messages are logged and the full log when running sudo /usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH' follows:

Jul 03 18:02:28 host-two sudo[65002]:    userx : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/userx ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'

Jul 03 18:02:28 host-two sudo[65002]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

Both hosts are updated when updates are published.

DISTRIB_ID="ManjaroLinux"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="26.1.0-pre"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="Bian-May"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"

I would greatly appreciate thoughts on how to troubleshoot and possibly narrow in on what is causing the issue.

 $ sudo bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

 $ sudo /usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
[sudo] password for fh: 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

It is impossible to guess - have you been playing with pam?

Or polkit?

I don’t know anyone named Pam.

@linux-aarhus
I appended

password        optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so

to /etc/pam.d/passwd on both host-one and host-two and that change was made well before I started seeing this issue with sudo on host-one.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping that the log output I included from host-one, which was a result of running the command sudo /usr/bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH', could provide hints to someone more familiar with pam, systemd-logind, etc., than I am.

@pwx
The following processes are running:

/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug --log-level=notice
/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

but I have made no explicit changes to polkit.

Please provide the output of:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):

inxi -zv8
Running `inxi` in `chroot`
Providing `inxi` when you cannot access your desktop environment
11

To verify if your changes has anything to do with it - I suggest you revert the change and restart your system.

Then run the command again.
