If you manually run 'systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch' in a terminal, it never returns, so could it just be that and to be expected ?
That is certainly what man systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) states.
Understood. But then, it would be normal behavior for the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent processes (spawn by systemd-ask-password-console.service) to remain running forever (and the service to remain active as well) ? :
I'd say it's designed this way.
What I do not understand is the reason this --watch option is used and what it does exactly.
The agent with --watch continuously process password requests. The `Password query on /dev/tty1 finished successfully.` message does not mean that the password inserted is valid to decrypt anything, so you'll see many messages like this until the process that needs a password (which is a different process) gets the one that decrypts what it expects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
