Link to the original issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/issues/180

[user@localhost root]$ echo $$
15013
[user@localhost root]$ pkcheck --action-id 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system' --process 15013 -u
polkit\56temporary_authorization_id=tmpauthz1
polkit\56retains_authorization_after_challenge=true
[user@localhost root]$ pkcheck --list-temp

pkcheck --list-temp does not display any information even if temporary permission has been granted.

this bug first proposed in 2014 [https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015:0692.html]

However, the final patch does not appear to include removing the --list-temp parameter or fixing this feature.[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29936]

Just tried

$ systemctl restart sshd
 [authentication window now]
$ pkcheck --list-temp

pkcheck --list-temp is supposed to list temp authorization ("authorization cookies") that already exists. Are you sure your tmpauthz really existed? Maybe I just don't understand your reproducer...
