Unequal framing of text in important authentication dialog

[enkore]

When systemctl prompts for authentication (this happens for example if one wants to suspend a machine remotely with active sessions) the following text shows up:

$ systemctl suspend
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.login1.suspend ===
Authentication is required for suspending the system.
Authenticating as: <redacted>
Password:
polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===

Note that on the left side there are four equal signs (====), but on the right only three (===) are printed. I can't seem to find where this output is actually generated (and ==== etc. is not part of the source code, it is only mentioned in the man pages), so I can't prepare a patch for this formatting anomaly.

That's implemented in PolicyKit's pkttyagent tool, and not in systemd.

Fixed in polkit ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92276 )
