Re: console-kit-daemon errors on SLES 11
on my RHEL boxes, it uses about a quarter of the available memory too (and we have ours stripped down to only 2G RAM, so that doesn't leave much for the rest). And we noticed the messages only come out if you log in through the console--doesn't care about an ssh-login. I looked at all the dependencies for it and decided we could live without them (mostly desktop-related services, and we don't boot in rl5 on the zseries) to finally kill it, because the redhat guys said suppressing the messages and living with the pointless overhead was the only other option.

Re: console-kit-daemon errors on SLES 11
the redhat guys said suppressing the messages and living with the pointless overhead was the only other option. *That* is crap. This thing is controlled by a set of config files, which have stupid defaults (and which support ifdef'd includes, so there's even less excuse for not skipping configuration stuff that doesn't make sense on Z). /etc/console-kit contains the configuration files for console-kit. Remove the entries in /etc/console-kit for the unwanted console definitions and the error messages will stop. Note that this thing is also destined to be replaced by a systemd function if/when SLES adopts systemd -- the sourceforge page for the console-kit package is no longer maintained, so I'm kind of surprised that it's being used in a modern distribution. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/

Hello! I agree. I've got a reasonable idea of what that program (and application) does on my system. But what does it do besides complain on a System Z?
