My guess is that pkexec is calling realpath to canonicalize the path before checking for it in /etc/shells, although I have not confirmed this. Regardless, I think we should list both paths in /etc/shells because both paths are valid and there are various benign reasons why one might see the other path. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
